One of the greatest unmet challenges in conservation biology is the genetic management of fragmented populations of threatened animal and plant species. More than a million small, isolated, population fragments of threatened species are likely suffering inbreeding depression and loss of evolutionary potential, resulting in elevated extinction risks. Although these effects can often be reversed by re-establishing gene flow between population fragments, managers very rarely do this. On the contrary, genetic methods are used mainly to document genetic differentiation among populations, with most studies concluding that genetically differentiated populations should be managed separately, thereby isolating them yet further and dooming many to eventual extinction! Many small population fragments are going extinct principally for genetic reasons. Although the rapidly advancing field of molecular genetics is continually providing new tools to measure the extent of population fragmentation and its genetic consequences, adequate guidance on how to use these data for effective conservation is still lacking. This accessible, authoritative text is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in conservation biology, conservation genetics, and wildlife management. It will also be of particular relevance to conservation practitioners and natural resource managers, as well as a broader academic audience of conservation biologists and evolutionary ecologists.

The most straightforward contribution of genetics to conservation has been the use of neutral markers, such as microsatellite loci, to estimate evolutionary and demographic processes (e.g. loss of genetic diversity, increase in genetic structure, population bottlenecks, migration rates) occurring in endangered and vulnerable wildlife. To this extent, next-generation sequencing technologies have enabled scientists to examine thousands or even millions of neutral loci with relative ease and at low cost in non-model species. Unlike classic population genetics studies, genomics has emerged as a reliable field to study selection and the distribution of loci affecting fitness across the entire genome. In this study, I used genomics and classic population genetics approaches to understand and/or to predict the evolutionary consequences of introductions and reintroductions in wildlife, with implications for its management and conservation. First, I employed whole-genome sequences from Florida panthers and Texas pumas to assemble and annotate the genome of the puma. In this regard, I detected genes under positive selection that could be associated with inbreeding depression traits observed in the Florida panther (e.g. heart failure, cryptorchidism, spermatozoal defects, low testosterone levels, immune deficiencies). Second, I examined the evolutionary consequences of multiple introduction events in Florida panther mitochondrial genetic diversity. Finally, I used mitochondrial DNA and composite microsatellite data in order to develop a management strategy to reintroduce captive Arabian oryx into the wild.

Genome sequencing enables scientists to study genes over time and to test the genetic variability of any form of life, from bacteria to mammals. Thanks to advances in molecular genetics, scientists can now determine an animal's degree of inbreeding or compare genetic variation of a captive species to wild or natural populations. Mapping an organism's genetic makeup recasts such terms as biodiversity and species and enables the conservation of rare or threatened species, populations, and genes. By introducing a new paradigm for studying and preserving life at a variety of levels, genomics offers solutions to previously intractable problems in understanding the biology of complex organisms and creates new tools for preserving the patterns and processes of life on this planet. Featuring a number of high-profile researchers, this volume introduces the use of molecular genetics in conservation biology and provides a historical perspective on the opportunities and challenges presented by new technologies. It discusses zoo-, museum-, and herbarium-based biological collections, which have expanded over the past decade, and covers the promises and problems of genomic and reproductive technology. The collection concludes with the philosophical and legal issues of conservation genetics and their potential effects on public policy.

This project developed an innovative measurement technique to collect adequate illumination data in a safe, efficient, and high-quality way. the Center for Urban and Transportation Research (CUTR) team used the system to measure both horizontal illuminance and vertical illuminance on each illuminated crosswalk at 23 signalized interesections. The measured illuminance values were compared to the theoretical values obtained from the design files at the same measurement points. Comparison tables and satellite maps were used to present the comparison results for verifying the lighting system design and upgrade.

When the first field study of the Florida panther took place in 1973, so little was known about the animal that many scientists believed it was already extinct. During more extensive research conducted from 1981 to 1986, panthers were proven to exist, but the handful of senile, anemic, and parasite-infested specimens that were captured indicated a grim future. During those early years a remarkably enduring image of the panther was born, and despite voluminous data gathered over the next decade that showed the panther to be healthy, long-lived, and reproducing, that earlier image has yet to be dispelled. For nine years, biologist David S. Maehr served as project leader of the Florida Panther Study Project, helping to gather much of the later, surprisingly positive data. In The Florida Panther, he presents the first detailed portrait of the animal -- its biology, natural history, and current status -- and a realistic assessment of its prospects for survival. Maehr also provides an intriguing look at the life and work of a field biologist: how captures are made, the intricacies of radio-telemetry tracking, the roles of various team members. He describes the devastating intrusion of politics into scientific work, as he discusses the widespread problems caused by the failure of remote and ill-informed managers to provide needed support and to communicate effectively to the public the goals and accomplishments of the scientists. He examines controversial efforts to establish a captive breeding program and to manipulate the Florida panther's genetic stock with the introduction of relatives from west Texas. Protection of high-quality habitat, much of it in the hands of private landowners, is the key to the long-term survival of the Florida panther. Unless agency decisionmakers and the public are aware of the panther's true situation, little can be done to save it. This book will play a vital role in correcting widespread misconceptions about the panther's current condition and threats to its survival.
