Sentence examples for restored population from inspiring English sources

However, the Asiatic lion's close genetic similarity with the now-extinct Barbary lion has raised hopes among conservationists that a restored population of the latter may be established in North Africa.

We used a spatially-explicit individual based modeling (SEIBM) approach to model the population demographics and distribution of a restored population of Cirsium pitcheri in Illinois.

Mitigation against potential failures may be overcome by sowing at higher densities, or by tolerating higher failure rates while accepting that natural selection is acting to produce a suitable and adaptively fit restored population.

As recent physiological and biogeographic studies implicate temperature as a primary selection force for species survival and persistence of populations [ 16, 17], a second factor for consideration might be including specimens from populations with broader thermal tolerances in order to minimize risk to the restored population through climate change.

Genetic differences between restored and natural populations are expected if the source of a restored population contains a different genetic history (Honjo et al. 2008), which could be shaped by geographic distance and associated variation in environmental conditions, or selection for traits during commercial production.

The restored population was divided into two isolated genetic lines: the Lowland or the Bialowieza line (in which the founders were seven pure Lowland bison) and the Lowland-Caucasian line (in which the founders were 11 Lowland bison individuals and one Caucasian bison bull).

The park recently added the 400-acre Ackerson Meadow to Yosemite, and has restored populations of species including western pond turtles, Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep and red-legged frogs.

Gustafson et al. [8] also found that local prairie remnants and restored populations were genetically different than non-local remnants and cultivars.

(2004b) demonstrated that prairie grass cultivars in restored populations contained a different genetic structure than local ecotypes in natural populations.

(2012) documented similar genetic diversity among natural and restored populations of a wetland plant (Lychnis flos-cuculi), but there was a difference in genetic structure and higher inbreeding depression in the restored populations despite measures taken to avoid genetic change in the propagation process.

Within-population genetic diversity is usually needed to ensure population establishment and long-term persistence as well as long-term evolutionary potential of restored populations (McKay et al. 2005).
