Improving interactions between animal rights groups and conservation biologists.
Invasive species are often considered to be a major threat to biodiversity, leading conservation biologists to often recommend their complete eradication. Animal rights groups typically categorically oppose killing animals, and their opposition has brought eradication attempts of gray squirrels in northern Italy (Europe) and mute swans in Vermont to a halt. As a result native red squirrels may ...
متن کاملGenomic toolboxes for conservation biologists
Conservation genetics is expanding its research horizon with a genomic approach, by incorporating the modern techniques of next-generation sequencing (NGS). Application of NGS overcomes many limitations of conservation genetics. First, NGS allows for genome-wide screening of markers, which may lead to a more representative estimation of genetic variation within and between populations. Second, ...
متن کاملParallel Algorithm for Sorting animal Pedigrees
In many analyses of animal genotype with the methods of quantitative genetics there is a need to account for relationships among individuals. Incorrectly calculated relationship coefficients may lead to biased estimates. The number of software packages exist which deal with that problem; however, in many of them it is assumed that pedigrees of the individuals are sorted chronologically, but in ...
متن کاملWhen swordfish conservation biologists eat swordfish.
We are seeing species decline and disappear at everincreasing rates. Environmental problems have become so widespread and emergencies so common that they are no longer perceived as drama. Few news items have the power to grasp our attention and elicit a sense of dismay. Gossip is presented alongside ecologic disaster and stock-market issues compete with nuclear threat and extermination of innoc...
متن کاملTropical biologists, local people and conservation: new opportunities for collaboration.
Tropical biologists need help. Examples show that local people can be trained to be effective parataxonomists, greatly assisting efforts to document and assess tropical biodiversity. Local collaborations also offer promising ways with which to improve natural resource management and conservation. However, for several reasons, most biologists remain slow to approve and implement these approaches...
