Genetic Concepts and Uncertainties in Restoring Fish Populations and Species
Published on January 1, 2003
Genetic considerations can be crucially important to the success of reintroductions of lotic species. Current paradigms for conservation provide guidance for reducing uncertainties in genetic issues and for increasing the likelihood of restoration. -

The similarity in embryonic development between the two Adirondack strains may reflect an important local geographical adaptation different from that of the Quebec strains, which originated from more northerly populations. -
A Socio-Economic-Ecological Simulation Model of Land Acquisition to Expand a National Wildlife Refuge
Published on June 15, 2001
In this paper, a socio-economic-ecological model (SEELAND) was developed to simulate the socioeconomic feasibility and ecological consequences of a land acquisition project, using the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge in Michigan (USA) as a case study. -
Simulating Demographic and Socioeconomic Processes on Household Level and Implications for Giant Panda Habitats
Published on June 15, 2001
We developed a household-based, stochastic, and dynamic model that simulates the impacts of household demographic and socioeconomic interactions on fuelwood use, a key factor affecting the quantity and quality of habitats for the giant pandas. -
