Regional Gene Pools for Restoration, Conservation, and Genetic Improvement of Prairie Grasses
AR Jakubowski, MD Casler - Plants and BioEnergy, 2014 Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), and Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) are native warm-season grasses that have been identified as potential cellulosic bioenergy feedstock crops due to their potential for high yields, perennial life habit, and nutrient use ...
R Marati, H Sooryaprakash Shenoy - 2013 ABSTRACT This is the first report on extended distribution of C. razianum KG Bhat in the Western Ghats region of Karnataka. The floristic composition the area (Charmady Ghat region) in which Combretum razianum is growing was carried out. The regeneration of this ...
The role of wildlife watching tourism for nature conservation.
PNM Brumatti - Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo, 2013 Abstract Currently, tourism presents itself under different forms. The increasing of tourism demand and facilities for travel have made the world accessible to travelers, who seek for flexibility of recreational practices, contributing to market segmentation searching for more ...
Mathematical modeling of the conservation of populations
OS Afanas' eva, GF Egorova, LV Kaidalova - Vestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo …, 2013
Abstract: The system of difference equations describing the process of industrial fish catching while their abundance is maintained is proposed. Population size changing and, consequently, the volume of catch are predicted on the basis of this model study.
Ex-situ conservation of some plant genetic resources from Qatari protectorates
E Elazazi - Qatar Foundation Annual Research Conference, 2013 Qatar biodiversity is under the pressure by the effects of environmental pollution, overgrazing, desertification as well as the climatic change. In order to rescue wild plant
genetic resources of Qatar and in the line of Qatar Strategic action plan of Genetic ...

Evolutionary Conservation of Primate Lymphocryptovirus microRNA Targets
RL Skalsky, D Kang, SD Linnstaedt, BR Cullen - Journal of Virology, 2013 ABSTRACT Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and rhesus lymphocryptovirus (rLCV) are closely related gamma-herpesviruses in the lymphocryptovirus subgroup that express viral
microRNAs (miRNAs) during latent infection. In addition to many host mRNAs, EBV ...
Vulnerability of dynamic genetic conservation units of forest trees in Europe to climate change
S Schueler, W Falk, J Koskela, F Lefèvre, M Bozzano… - Global Change Biology, 2013Abstract A transnational network of genetic conservation units for forest trees was recently documented in Europe aiming at the conservation of evolutionary processes and the adaptive potential of natural or man-made tree populations. In the present study we ...
KB Strier - Primates and Cetaceans, 2014 The northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus ) is a critically endangered primate species, endemic to the Atlantic forest of southeastern Brazil. Long-term data from one of the largest
populations, which inhabits the 957-ha forest at the RPPN Feliciano Miguel Abdala in ...
MGL Mills, MEJ Mills - Journal of Zoology, 2013 Abstract Cheetah cub survival on the Serengeti Plains (SP) was found to be exceptionally low, because of high predation rates, thought to be especially by lions. These results have contributed to the perception that cheetah cubs are particularly vulnerable to predation, ...
C Vásquez‐Carrillo, V Friesen, L Hall, MZ Peery - Animal Conservation, 2013 Abstract Conserving genetic variation is critical for maintaining the evolutionary potential and viability of a species. Genetic studies seeking to delineate conservation units, however, typically focus on characterizing neutral genetic variation and may not identify populations ...
Translationally invariant conservation laws of local Lindblad equations
M Znidaric, G Benenti, G Casati - arXiv preprint arXiv:1311.4985, 2013 Abstract: We study the conditions under which local translationally invariant operators can be conserved by local translationally invariant Lindblad equations in one-dimensional systems of spin-1/2 particles. We prove that for any 1-local operator (eg, particle density) ...
Missing the trees for the wood: Why are we failing to see success in pro-poor conservation
TE Davies, IRA Fazey, W Cresswell, N Pettorelli - Animal Conservation, 2013
Abstract Pro-poor conservation strategies are touted as a panacea for achieving biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction, yet there remains limited evidence for success in achieving these dual objectives. Is this lack of evidence a sign that the approach is failing ...
EL Webb, NRA Jachowski, J Phelps, DA Friess… - Global Environmental …, 2013 Abstract Myanmar is a country of huge biodiversity importance that is undergoing major political change, bringing with it new international engagement. This includes access to international markets, which will likely spur investment in export-oriented agriculture, ...
S Barik, S SarkarDas, A Singh, V Gautam, P Kumar… - Genomics, 2013 Abstract Similar to majority of the microRNAs, mature miR166s are derived from multiple members of MIR166 genes (precursors) and regulate various aspects of plant development by negatively regulating their target genes (Class III HDZIP). The evolutionary ...
E Mutegi, AL Stottlemyer, AA Snow, PM Sweeney - Restoration Ecology, 2013 Abstract Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a dominant, perennial C 4 grass of North American tallgrass prairies with cultivars that are widely used in grassland restoration, pastures, and landscaping. However, these cultivars may be genetically dissimilar to small ...
