An analysis of the distribution histograms (not shown) indicated that the increase in conservation was due to a recruitment of conserved genes, and not a gradual increase in general homology.
Correlated divergent and tandem gene pairs were more common among conserved pairs in all three species (Table 2), although the increase in conservation was statistically significant only for tandem pairs in sorghum and for divergent and tandem pairs in Brachypodium.
"The Congressional climate seems positive for an increase in conservation funding," Senator Lieberman said.
"This is, by far, the greatest increase in conservation spending in the history of the country," said Representative Norm Dicks, Democrat of Washington, who helped negotiate the agreement.
Economic analysis of a large-scale restoration project in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest finds that spatial prioritization efforts could provide an eightfold increase in conservation cost-effectiveness.
Many of these cultural rural landscapes are linked to Nature Reserves, therefore having an increase in conservation interest.
We propose that Precision Conservation will be needed to support parallel increases in soil and water conservation practices that will contribute to sustainability of these very intensively-managed systems while contributing to a parallel increase in conservation of natural areas.
The increasing size of the human ecological footprint will require a matching increase in conservation efforts if significant, viable communities of nonvoting species are to have any real chance of persisting in natural forms where they can evolve and provide vital services to the human economy, health, and wellbeing.
More recently, following worldwide conservation shifts, there has been a substantial increase in conservation efforts beyond protected area boundaries where communities reside, work, and use resources (Bray and Velázquez 2009; King 2009).
