Conservation & Evolution
This blog includes conservation questions such as: What is the minimum population size needed for a species to survive? What strategies can we use to boost genetic diversity? Adding evolution to conservation plans creates more complex questions: What will be the genetic effects of using hybridization to increase diversity? What selective pressures will be put on others by increasing population size of one species? Including evolutionary implications in conservation decisions keeps us thinking for the future.
