Resurrecting extinct species is a fascinating and challenging idea for scientists and the
general public. Whereas some theoretical progress has been made for animals, the …

De-extinction projects for species such as the woolly mammoth and passenger pigeon have
greatly stimulated public and scientific interest, producing a large body of literature and …

Herbaria may represent remarkable sources of viable diaspores for recovering lost genetic
variation and extinct plant species, but the application of rewilding extinct species using …

The spectacle of de-extinction is often forward facing at the interface of science fiction and
speculative fact, haunted by extinction's pasts. Missing from this discourse, however, is a …

I will entertain and reject three arguments which putatively establish that the individuals
produced through de-extinction ought to be the same species as the extinct population …

In this essay, we explore the philosophical and ethical issues concerning de-extinction. First,
we will characterize what de-extinction is. This requires clarification of the process of …

Developments in genetic engineering may soon allow biologists to clone organisms from
extinct species. The process, dubbed “de-extinction,” has been publicized as a means to …

De-extinction technology aims to bring extinct species back into existence, often with the
goal of releasing created organisms into natural environments. In this paper, I argue that …

Herbaria may represent remarkable sources of viable diaspores for recovering lost genetic
variation and extinct plant species, but the application of rewilding extinct species using …

Herbaria are an important source of data and material useful in many fields, including plant
conservation. Seeds preserved in herbarium specimens may have the potential to …
