A human reproductive approach to the study of infertility in chimpanzees: An experience at Leon’s Zoological Park, Mexico
Great apes are mammals close to humans in their genetic, behavioral, social and evolutionary characteristics and new genomic information is revolutionizing our understanding of evolution in primates. However, all these species are endangered. While there are many global programs to protect these species, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) projects that in a near future th...
متن کاملILAR Journal Online, Volume 38(2) 1997: The Role of Computational Models in Animal Research
Laboratory populations and colonies of animals are established and maintained for a variety of purposes with biomedical, reproductive, behavioral, and genetical research being among the most common uses. Animal populations are also established and maintained for conservation purposes, as is the case with endangered species captive breeding programs in zoological parks and similar institutions. ...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of North American captive-born gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)
Western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) are designated as critically endangered and wild populations are dramatically declining as a result of habitat destruction, fragmentation, diseases (e.g., Ebola) and the illegal bushmeat trade. As wild populations continue to decline, the genetic management of the North American captive western lowland gorilla population will be an important co...
متن کاملVery Low Population Structure in a Highly Mobile and Wide-Ranging Endangered Bird Species
The loss of biodiversity following fragmentation and degradation of habitat is a major issue in conservation biology. As competition for resources increases following habitat loss and fragmentation, severe population declines may occur even in common, highly mobile species; such demographic decline may cause changes within the population structure of the species. The regent honeyeater, Anthocha...

متن کاملConservation genetics of the Far Eastern leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis).
The Far Eastern or Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) survives today as a tiny relict population of 25-40 individuals in the Russian Far East. The population descends from a 19th-century northeastern Asian subspecies whose range extended over southeastern Russia, the Korean peninsula, and northeastern China. A molecular genetic survey of nuclear microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA (mtDN...
