There are only about 7,100 adolescent and adult cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) remaining in the wild. With the majority occurring outside protected areas, their numbers are rapidly declining. Evidence-based conservation measures are essential for the survival of this species. Genetic data is routinely used to inform conservation strategies, e.g., by establishing conservation units (CU).

Female in the inside, male in the outside: insights into the spatial organization of a European wildcat populationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 1405-1415 - 2016
Marie-Pauline Beugin, Guillaume Leblanc, Guillaume Queney, Eugenia Natoli, Dominique Pontier
Hybridization between the European wildcat, Felis
silvestris silvestris, and the domestic cat, Felis
silvestris catus, has been found in several European countries with different landscape structures and in various proportions. In this study, we focus on a local population of European wildcats in forests fragmented by agricultural lands in northeas...... hiện toàn bộ
Hierarchical population structure in greater sage-grouse provides insight into management boundary delineationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 1417-1433 - 2016

Understanding population structure is important for guiding ongoing conservation and restoration efforts. The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a species of concern distributed across 1.2 million km2 of western North America. We genotyped 1499 greater sage-grouse from 297 leks across Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota using a 15 locus microsatellite panel, then examined spatia...... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic distinction of pallid, shovelnose, and Alabama sturgeon: emerging species and the US Endangered Species ActSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 17-32 - 2000
Donald E. Campton, Anna L. Bass, Frank A. Chapman, Brian W. Bowen
The sturgeon genus Scaphirhynchus consists of threerecognized species. Pallid and shovelnose sturgeon (S. albusand S. platorynchus, respectively) are sympatric in theMissouri and lower Mississippi Rivers of the central United States. TheAlabama sturgeon (S. suttkusi) is endemic to the nearby MobileRiver drainage and is isolated geographically from the other twospecies. Pallid sturgeon and the extr...... hiện toàn bộ
A genetic test for recruitment enhancement in Chesapeake Bay oysters, Crassostrea virginica, after population supplementation with a disease tolerant strainSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 717-734 - 2006
Matthew P. Hare, Standish K. Allen, Paulette Bloomer, Mark D. Camara, Ryan B. Carnegie, Jenna Murfree, Mark Luckenbach, Donald Meritt, Cheryl Morrison, Kennedy Paynter, Kimberly S. Reece, Colin G. Rose
Many of the methods currently employed to restore Chesapeake Bay populations of the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, assume closed recruitment in certain sub-estuaries despite planktonic larval durations of 2–3 weeks. In addition, to combat parasitic disease, artificially selected disease tolerant oyster strains are being used for population supplementation. It has been impossible to fully e...... hiện toàn bộ
Preliminary data suggests genetic distinctiveness of gyr and saker falconsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2007
Nick Dawnay, Ross McEwing, Roger S. Thorpe, Rob Ogden
The inadequately controlled trade in gyr and saker falcons has lead to saker falcons becoming endangered and both species being CITES listed. However, the phylogenetic relationship between these nominal species is unresolved preventing their molecular identification and limiting the availability of data for conservation management. This study amplified DNA from the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase...... hiện toàn bộ
