We used a population viability analysis to evaluate the influence of headstarting on recovery of the Rouge National Urban Park Blanding's turtle population. Completing the remaining 12 years of the 20‐year headstarting program is projected to approximately double population size relative to no further supplementation.

ABSTRACT Recent kelp forest declines and growth in the kelp aquaculture industry have fueled increasing interest in ecological and evolutionary research on kelp forests, including kelp population genomics. Although many kelp management activities have inherent genetic and evolutionary implications, kelp management in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of ...

ABSTRACT Supportive breeding programs are widely implemented to counteract demographic collapse in threatened populations. Their long‐term success, however, depends on maintaining genetic diversity while ensuring that released individuals contribute effectively to wild populations.

Total Numbers and Movements of Photo‐Identified Subantarctic (Type D) Killer Whales
ABSTRACT The distinctive Subantarctic (Type D) killer whale (DKW) (Orcinus orca) is a highly divergent and apparently inbred form previously known only from three mass strandings and several dozen at‐sea sightings, primarily from Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) longline vessels in the southern Indian Ocean and from tourism vessels in ...

Using herbarium collections to study genetic responses to global change
Summary Earth's c. 406 million herbarium specimens represent a largely untapped resource of genetic data that could transform our understanding of global plant populations. Advances in DNA sequencing have made the extraction of genetic data from these preserved specimens increasingly feasible, enabling new insights into plant biodiversity and ...

Comparison among Inbreeding Systems in Maize
The use of less severe inbreeding systems than self-fertilization has been suggested as a means of developing more vigorous maize lines (Zea mays L.). To compare different inbreeding systems, nine traits were evaluated in inbred lines developed by full ...

Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming
Re‐engineering potato as a biosafe and host‐optimised platform for plant molecular farming by integrating intrinsic biological traits with targeted engineering strategies. ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being ...

Inbreeding depression for reproductive and yield related traits in S1 lines of maize (Zea mays L.) [PDF]
This research was conducted to determine inbreeding depression in S1 maize lines for reproductive and yield related traits, at NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan, in two successive seasons during 2002.
