将转基因生物(GMO)释放到环境中的申请正在指数级增加，通常是在农业环境中。许多涉及农作物也是杂草的植物。对生物入侵和生物防治的研究表明，一种新的基因有机体自我形成的可能性很小；它也是不可预测的，在某些情况下可能会产生严重的生态影响。转基因生物构成风险，既是因为它们将大量释放，也因为基因新颖性越大，产生生态新颖性的可能性就越大。分子生态学是确保风险得到有效评估的重要因素。
Applications to release genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the environment, usually the agricultural environment, are increasing exponentially. Many involve crop plants that are also weeds. Studies of biological invasions and of biological control show that the probability that a genetically new organism establishing itself is small; it is also unpredictable and in some cases could have severe ecological effects. GMOs pose risks both because they will be released in large numbers and because the greater the genetic novelty the greater the possibility of ecological novelty. Molecular ecology is an essential ingredient in ensuring that risks are assessed efficiently.
