Genetic diversity and its value: conservation genetics meets economics

Conservation of Plant Genetic Diversity

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

Of bears, conservation genetics, and the value of time travel.

P genetics is a historical discipline in the sense that it analyzes the distribution of genetic variants in populations to make inferences about evolutionary processes and events in the past. But it is time trapped, because population geneticists, unlike for example paleontologists or archaeologists, are limited to the analysis of contemporary materials and cannot go back in time to study direc...

Molecular Genetics and Economics.

T he question of how traits and behaviors pass from one generation to the next has been the subject of intense interest throughout the history of science. Simple parent–child correlations are open to multiple interpretations, as parents transmit both environment and genome to their children. Until recently, genotyping—or the direct measurement of variation in an individual’s DNA sequence throug...

Native and alien plant species inventory and diversity in disturbed forests and its economic value

The study was conducted to assess the native and alien plant species in one of the highly disturbed forest (S1) and less disturbed forest (S2) in Mt. Manunggal, Cebu Island, Philippines. Twenty-four quadrats with a size of 20mx20 m were established using a quadrat sampling technique to identify and record all plant species. Diversity indices were utilized to determine species abundance, richnes...
