Among the services provided by conservation-minded zoos are breeding programs to broaden the genetic diversity of isolated wild populations, relocations of species that are under stress, and research into reproduction dynamics.
Relocation of plant species within and close to their range is not going to create an invasive situation in these landscapes.
Resilience of physical and biological resources in their current form to climate change may be increased through thoughtful reduction of anthropogenic disturbances, protection of refugia, and possibly relocation of priority species to more favorable climates.
The report also called for trapping and relocating the stickleback, but the court said state law bars the relocation of a protected species as a mitigation measure.
Cowpox virus seems to be restricted to Eurasia, but spread of poxviruses to new regions through relocation of their natural host species is possible (10 ).
In addition, assisted migration would require that large numbers of wildlife officials facilitate and oversee relocations, that rules regarding the transport of species across international borders be changed, and that solutions be developed for organisms living in habitats with disappearing climates.
This paper introduces linear integer programming formulations for the relocation of multiple populations of a species at risk to clustered conservation areas.
Yet, import of exotic rodent species and relocation of indigenous wildlife to other areas as pets have compromised the integrity of natural cycles, proving perilous to both animal and human communities and raising the specter of interspecies transmission of infectious agents, among them those that cause tularemia and monkeypox.
While the role of the hippocampus in bats remains unclear, it may function in migratory navigation [ 20] and, in frugivorous and nectarivorous species, for the relocation of food [ 21].
