Abstract
Circular 1499, an 11-page circular by Charles Jacoby, describes the risk that scientific study of organisms in biological or ecological sciences may lead to introduction of non-indigenous organisms outside their native or existing ranges, and encourages participants in science and engineering fair projects to explicitly manage this risk. Includes references. Published by the UF Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, February 2007.
