“…Although genomic data may provide deeper insights for some biodiversity-related questions, DNA barcoding remains more scalable when species identifications are needed. The analysis of genomic data is timeconsuming, requires considerable bioinformatic competence compared to standardized DNA barcodes, demands more energy for data computation and storage, and is challenging for quality control when shared [24]. There is an inherent complementarity in DNA barcoding and genomics, with "sequencing a small amount of DNA from vast sample sizes", appropriate for species identification and biomonitoring, and "sequencing a vast amount of nucleotides from smaller sample sizes", appropriate for understanding genomic complexity, diversity, and function.…”

“…Obringer and colleagues highlight that teleconferencing and video streaming—key facets of a virtual conference12—can emit as much as 1 kg of carbon dioxide per hour per delegate. In addition, significant emissions are associated with the use of social media advertising and cloud data storage.…”

“…Enfin, même si l' on voit depuis plusieurs années une volonté sérieuse de se saisir de la question environnementale en éducation tandis que la crise climatique est à nos portes (voir, notamment, Léna et Wilgenbus, 2020), l'impact environnemental du numérique reste tout à fait mésestimé. En raison de l'enseignement à distance relié à la pandémie et si le travail à distance devait se poursuivre jusqu'à la fin de 2021, il avait été estimé que l' empreinte carbone mondiale pourrait augmenter de telle sorte que l'on aurait besoin d'une forêt équivalent, en surface, à deux fois le Portugal ou la région du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean pour séquestrer entièrement toutes ces émissions (Obringer et al, 2021). Quand les rapports du GIEC ne cessent de plaider pour une réduction des gaz à effet de serre, la tendance ne paraît guère soutenable.…”
