Field Spotlight: Monique Pool from Conservation International on Vimeo.
In Fagus forestry, higher C stocks in the ecosystem pools under conservation management more than compensated the C losses in the product pool.
For comparison with the POOL method, sequence conservation which includes evolutionary information is used as training feature in some predictions reported here.
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been suggested as a significant tool in overcoming breeding problems and broadening the gene pool for species conservation [ 3].
During the last century, anthropogenic pressure has led to the formation of hundreds of specialized breeds that are adapted to different environmental conditions and linked to local traditions, constituting a gene pool relevant for conservation [ 16].
In order to identify candidate breeding animals or gene pools for future conservation breeding programs, we studied the genetic diversity and population structure of this breed using microsatellite data from 197 individuals belonging to five different breeds.
Wild and domestic camels hybridize and the introgression of domestic genes into the distinct wild camel gene pool represents a major conservation concern (Enkhbileg et al., 2006; Silbermayr and Burger, 2012; Tulgat and Schaller, 1992; Zhirnov and Ilyinsky, 1986).
Fifteen conservation groups pooled a total of $25,000 at the meeting to begin an independent scientific study of the project and start an opposition campaign.
In doing so, Suosaari says, it has essentially extended the world heritage area, Besides protecting Hamelin pool's shoreline, the new conservation reserve completes a connected corridor of nature reserves from Shark Bay, through Toolonga nature reserve and crown land over to Bush Heritage Australia's Eurardy reserve and then Kalbarri national park – a total span of more than 200km.
Conservation International visited Pool shortly after she rescued more than 200 sloths when 16 acres of forest were cleared for a cattle farm last October.
