tailieunhanh - Reproductive Science and Integrated Conservation

By playing a role in the near-annihilation of a species, Theodore Roosevelt, the president of the United States at the turn of the twentieth century, unwittingly laid the groundwork for the most dramatic triumph yet in the use of artificial insemination (AI) to rescue a species from extinction. In the early 1900s, waves of immigrants from Europe settled in the American Midwest. As humans transformed the land, they declared war on a perceived pest: the prairie dog. That might have seemed an affront to Roosevelt, an ardent conservationist who was once quoted as saying, ‘When I hear of the destruction of a species, I feel as if all. | CONSERVATION BIOLOGY SERIES 8 Reproductive Science and Integrated Conservation Edited by William V. Holt Amanda R. Pickard John Rodger and David E. Wildt more information - 9780521812153 Cambridge This page intentionally left blank Reproductive Science and Integrated Conservation Reproduction is essential to the continuation and evolution of life on this planet and is therefore a centrally important process in the conservation of wildlife. However reproductive mechanisms are well understood in only a handful of vertebrate species mostly the human domestic livestock and laboratory animals. This means that attempts to develop and implement management policies for wildlife conservation and especially for endangered species that by definition are difficult to study are often based on poor data or no data at all. In Reproductive Science and Integrated Conservation leading authorities provide glimpses of reproductive diversity in fishes amphibia reptiles birds and mammals. Conservation plans are founded on the assumption that reproduction will be successful but what if it fails This book reviews the many factors that influence reproduction including genetics behaviour and nutrition and experts assess the potential conservation relevance of the recent rapid advances in reproductive technology and medicine. This book is based on a symposium that the editors convened at the Zoological Society of London in November 2000 to make the New Millennium. Here the speakers have the opportunity to present their vision of Reproductive Sciences and Integrated Conservation to a wider audience.
