Document Summary
It explains the population decline in the greater prairie chicken: prediction 1: evidence of inbreeding depression was supported, prediction 2: current illinois populations have lower genetic diversity than past populations or larger populations. This was also supported: to make the population increase, they started to bring in chickens from other places (migrate) Case 3 conservation genetics of black-footed ferret (reintroduction program): historically widespread in prairies of north america, they were hunted and poisioned and had habitat fragmentation occur. In the early 1900s, there was a 98% decrease: lead to small, isolated populations, by the 1970s, they were thought to be extinct. In the 1980s, a small group was found in the wild and then captive breeding and reintroduction program started to happen: they carefully managed genetic diversity in breeding. The host rna polymerase transcribes the hiv mrna: hiv mrna is translated by host ribosomes to hiv proteins.
