Wildlife Conservation Genetics Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Definition and Scope: Biology is the scientific study of living organisms and their interactions with each other and their environment. It encompasses a wide range of topics, from the molecular and cellular levels to the ecological and evolutionary levels. 2. Core Topics: Cell Biology: Understanding the structure and function of cells, organelles, and cellular processes. Genetics: The study of heredity, DNA, genes, and genetic variations. Ecology: The study of the relationships between...

CWAM Final Exam Which of the following best describes the function of a SAG? (Scientific Advisory Group) - ANS To provide expert scientific advice to zoo professionals regarding topics such as reproductive biology, nutrition, and behavior and to serve as consultants/advisors for specific zoo-related topics Which of the following best describes the function of a TAG? (Taxon Advisory Group) - ANS To examine the needs of a particular group of animals and develop a regional plan for th...

CWAM Exam Describe the reproductive management goals in captive facilities and why they are important. - ANS What is the major advantage to sexual reproduction? - ANS genetic variation What are the advantages of asexual repduction? - ANS easier and quicker Describe challenges to successful reproduction. - ANS It has a high energy cost (gamete production, delivery, timing, offspring development, etc.) Gametes are generally short-lived (eggs more so than sperm), so timing...

This is a summary of the course Wildlife Conservation Genetics (ABG51806) at Wageningen University and Research. It is made of the lectures and the book "A Primer of Conservation Genetics".

CWAM Exam What is a major advantage to sexual reproduction? - ANS Genetic variation What are the goals of reproductive management in captive facilities? - ANS Control genetics, genetic variation, successful reproduction Are there advantages to asexual reproduction? - ANS Less costly, less time involved, finding a mate, coordinating a mating event What are challenges to successful reproduction? - ANS Gamete creation, delivery, timing (egg and sperm same place same time), offspri...

Summary of the book on the basis of the lectures. Also contains explanation about molecular markers.

Study Guide for Exam 4: Chapters 11, 12, 13 Chapter 11 Biodiversity 1. When Aldo Leopold said, "The first rule to intelligent tinkering is to save all the pieces." in terms of biodiversity he meant that we should A. Save records of all species that have disappeared B. Not interfere with the disappearance of species C. Not cause species to disappear D. Not interfere with nature E. Aldo Leopold did not intend to have this statement applied to biodiversity 2. We are usually referring to sp...

This is a summary of all the lecture notes and the literature for the course ABG51806. The course wildlife conservation and genetics. The document may seem a bit long but it also includes quite a few pictures and hopefully you can also read through it fast because I outlined the key points in the text. I appreciate star reviews and tops and tips comments. Good luck studying!
