It could potentially lead to the development of a new kind of wildlife management, one that recognizes the cat's half-domesticated, half-wild ecological niche and its unique political position in America.
Mismanagement of any animals, domestic or wild, causes ecological problems, and fencing savannas is a form of mismanagement.
The utility of this assay is that it determines the ability of an organism to remove a pathogen that could be encountered in the wild, lending ecological relevancy to the technique.
In the case of invading domesticated species, which may readily hybridize with local wild populations, ecological consequences are compounded by possible genetic interactions (Suarez and Tsutsui 2008), which are thought to result in a reduction of genetic diversity and a loss of local adaptation (Mooney and Cleland 2001; Sakai et al. 2001).
We must protect the wild character and ecological integrity of the backcountry because that's the core value of the Adirondacks".
Owing to slow plant growth, over exploitation of wild plants, and ecological destruction of the natural habits in recent years, there is a severe shortage of plant material of this species, while the market demand is ever increasing.
Cross-site comparison studies of behavioral variation can provide evidence for traditions in wild species once ecological and genetic factors are excluded as causes for cross-site differences.
However, application of SNPs in wild populations addressing ecological or conservation issues is still limited to a few cases.
This means that escape of flies from the laboratory could conceivably result in rapid spread of an MCR allele in the wild, with unpredictable ecological consequences.
To what extent does the co-occurrence of crops and wild plants influence ecological and evolutionary processes in the natural hosts (e.g. resistance variation, maintenance of sex)?
