REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS IN HATCHERY-PRODUCED EASTERN OYSTER, CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA (GMELIN) [PDF]
, 2014 The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica Gmelin 1791) has great ecological and economic importance but populations have declined, especially in Chesapeake Bay, to historically low numbers.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.

A Social Network Analysis of Occupational Segregation [PDF]
We develop a social network model of occupational segregation between different social groups, generated by the existence of positive inbreeding bias among individuals from the same group.

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Genetic diversity of Lusitano horse in Brazil using pedigree information [PDF]
, 2018 This study aimed to evaluate population parameters and to describe the genetic diversity of the Lusitano breed in Brazil using pedigree data. Two populations were evaluated: total population (TP) containing 18,922 animals, and reference population (RP)

Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.

EFFECT OF INBREEDING ON MORTALITY OF CAPTIVE TIGER [PDF]
Exploratory Animal and Medical Research, 2017 A study was carried out on the captive tigers of Nandankanan zoo, Odisha, India, to conclude any deleterious effect of inbreeding on mortality. A pedigree path analysis of 342 tigers was done to estimate the inbreeding coefficient of each tiger from ...

Translocation effects on regional and local population viability and connectivity
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Translocations and reintroductions aim to improve the viability of isolated populations and promote connectivity for large carnivores. However, there is no established framework for assessing their success. We used the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in western and central Europe to assess the impact of translocations on the viability of six ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) are found only in transboundary habitat shared by the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda, and are considered as a common pool resource (CPR). From 1990 to 2022, the social‐ecological system was affected by an increase in the number and value of mountain gorilla groups and the number of actors.
