Abstract
Omics technologies clearly provide scientific advancement in ecotoxicology. On the
other hand, it is still uncertain whether omics can provide actual advancement in
ecological risk assessment and management. The key problem is the difficulty of
&lquo;anchoring&rquo; the context of omics and ecological risk, due to the large difference in
relevant biological levels of omics (e.g., DNA, transcriptome and metabolome) and of
ecological risk management (e.g., population, community and ecological function). This
article discussed approaches for anchoring omics and ecological risks.
