their natural settings" (p. 902). In this application, its hoped that this particular technology can help in various situations such as protecting plants, or other organisms, that are involved in
complex environments and ecosystems. Researchers study ergogenomics by noting how different molecular scenarios or chemicals might impact particular organisms. In recent weeks,
of course, much attention has been placed on the spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and how all of that oil will impact the wildlife and other organisms along the
Gulf Coast shorelines. Its likely that ecogenomic scientists, even now, are trying to determine how this thick, gooey crude is going to impact organisms either negatively or positively.
Its said that chemical cues can provide a major source of information for those studying organsisms; the type of chemical added to a specific
biosystem can determine how an organism is going to act, or react, to a particular chemical scenario (Snoeren, De Jong, & Dicke, 2007). Snoeren et al point out that insect-plant
communities are very dynamic; insect populations change based on plantlife (anyone who lives around a swamp, for example, has an understanding of how it attracts mosquitoes). The interaction between plants
and insects can have an impact on other areas and biosystems as well (Snoeren, De Jong, & Dicke, 2007). If insects destroy plantlife, this leaves fewer plants for animals to
ingest, which means animals are culled out. Its all inter-related. How the ecogenomics technology applied to solve a particular problem Can ergonomics solve
the problem of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill? It depends, and it wouldnt be a quick method. For one thing, an ecogenomics method would have to probe at the
