FWS explicitly did not side with the petitioners, however, with regard to the assertions about the negative conservation effects of pet and "entertainment" chimpanzees.
In order to evaluate the conservation effects of standing residue on controlling soil wind erosion, a 4-year study (2011 2014) was conducted near Changchun city in Northeast China.
Assessment of conservation effects attributed to rangeland planting practices must, therefore, be separated into two components: 1) evidence of the degree to which specific management practices have been shown to result in desirable vegetation change and 2) evidence supporting positive conservation effects of alternative vegetation states.
Overall, through a series of Conservation Effects Assessment Projects around the country, the USDA's NRCS is finding that Farm Bill conservation programs pay off.
As part of its Conservation Effects Assessment Project, the U.S. Department of Agriculture USDAA) recently compared two model scenarios for the Upper Mississippi River basin a baseline scenario that modeled the watershed with the conservation practices in place between 2003 and 2006 and a no-practice scenario that modeled the watershed as if no conservation practices were in place.
To reconstruct eco-cultural niches, we used the Genetic Algorithm for Rule-Set Prediction (GARP) [52], which has been applied to topics as diverse as habitat conservation, the effects of climate change on species' distributions, the geographic potential of species' invasions, and the geography of emerging disease transmission risk [53] [57].
Although the role of epitope conservation in the effect of MHC on HIV control among progressors is not yet clear, it appears less likely that it differentiates progressors from LTNP/EC bearing protective alleles.
To determine conservation of effect in organ regeneration, models of both physical (partial hepatectomy) and chemical (acetaminophen) liver injury were used.
After screening ~2500 compounds, this study revealed a number of relevant HSC regulators, including prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (discussed in more detail below) and nitric oxide (NO) (North et al., 2009), both of which showed strong conservation of effect in vitro and in vivo across vertebrate species, in developmental regulation and organ regeneration.
These data demonstrate the system is effective for comparing the behavior of different organisms of varying shapes (for example, to compare nootropic compounds in multiple species to show conservation of effect across clades and rule out or identify species-specific effects).
