Effect of monitoring technique on quality of conservation science.
Monitoring free-ranging animals in their natural habitat is a keystone of ecosystem conservation and increasingly important in the context of current rates of loss of biological diversity. Data collected from individuals of endangered species inform conservation policies. Conservation professionals assume that these data are reliable-that the animals from whom data are collected are representat...
متن کاملGraduate student's guide to necessary skills for nonacademic conservation careers.
Graduate education programs in conservation science generally focus on disciplinary training and discipline-specific research skills. However, nonacademic conservation professionals often require an additional suite of skills. This discrepancy between academic training and professional needs can make it difficult for graduate students to identify the skills and experiences that will best prepar...
متن کاملEnhancing the engagement of U.S. private foundations with conservation science.
Funding for conservation is limited, and its investment for maximum conservation gain can likely be enhanced through the application of relevant science. Many donor institutions support and use science to pursue conservation goals, but their activities remain relatively unfamiliar to the conservation-science community. We examined the priorities and practices of U.S.-based private foundations t...
متن کاملTransforming conservation for the 21st century.
As a photographer, artist, and conservationist, I have repeatedly observed that when humans are suffering, that suffering will be made visible on the land and in the water. The enormous effects of our behavior make us the ultimate keystone species, and the implications to conservation are provocative. One cannot begin to meaningfully address loss of biological diversity or climate change withou...
متن کاملGenetic diversity study of Ethiopian hot pepper cultivars (Capsicum spp.) using Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) marker
Hot pepper (Capsicum spp.) is an economically important spice widely cultivated and consumed in Ethiopia. In spite of its wide importance, there is no information available on the molecular genetic diversity of this crop. Cultivars characterization is an important link between the conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources in various breeding programs. Using five ISSR prim...
