Black-footed Ferret

5 bins. The purpose of the alleles selected was to represent a set of maternal and fraternal alleles found in a black-footed ferret. The allelic frequencies were taken of the entire group. The groups total allele frequency was made to represent the wild population of black-footed ferrets. Each participant was then given a test tube containing a clear solution, which represented “ferret fluid”. Most of the test tubes contained HCl, while 4 contained NaOH and were considered “contaminated”. To mimic

Natural selection is when certain phenotypes are being favoured in a given environment over others (Reece, 2014). Depending on the environment, some organisms will survive longer and reproduce more successfully compared to other individuals. An example of this would be the two different phenotypes of goldy (orange and golden phenotype) reproducing in a yellow/golden coral (Reece, 2014). Here we have these fish scattered around certain patches in coral reefs where these coral reef fish reproduce

killed all of the rodents in the area regardless of the total population. From the rancher’s perspective, they had accomplished what they needed. The unintended consequence was the density dependent effect it had on the ferret population. As the number of prairie dogs decrease, the ferret population faces fiercer competition for the food source. This was beyond the ranchers’ goal to maintain the yield of the crops. Because the results of the ranchers’ actions continued past the immediate impact of which

Should the Endangered Species Act revised The endangered species act passed in 1973 is the strongest law protecting the biodiversity of the United States today. For forty years the ESA has helped prevent the extinction of our nation’s wildlife treasure ("Endangered Species Act 101"), however, whether or not all of the environmental conservation victories can be attributed to the act is controversial. Especially when evaluating cases such as that of the bald eagle and California condor

Introduction: I. Ferrets are amusing creatures that can make good pets. II. Many people would be interested in a low maintenance pet that is softer than a turtle and more affectionate than a goldfish. III. I currently have three ferrets. I got my first one about five years ago. I found my second and third ferrets a couple of years later at the Oregon Ferret Shelter, where I ended up adopting them for a modest price. I have also volunteered at the shelter now and then and have learned

“The world is looking at us, you’ve gotta be lowering your greenhouse gas emissions, not increasing.” said Senator Ed Markey about the keystone pipelines. Keystone pipelines is an oil sand pipeline system, started in June 2010, that runs from Western Canadian Sedimentary Base in Alberta through refineries in Illinois and Texas and also to oil farms and pipelines in Cushing, Oklahoma. TransCanada Corporation first proposed the this project on February 9, 2005. However, this existing pipeline is expected

Males can weigh up to more than twice as much as females and be more longer. They have a coat that is a cream color with back layers. In winter their coats are thick smooth and glossy. In the summers they shed there coats which becomes thin and faded and they lose the winter gloss. Polecats have a raccoon like dark mask around their eyes and white are there ear's. Polecats have a pair of anal glands that emits a strong smell. When polecats are excited or threatened they release some of the glands

be detrimental to the biodiversity. Your buboinic plague research paper could tell you of all the harmful effects the bacteria is known to have on several species like the black-footed ferret. The ecological balance is hampered because species of prairie dog depend on the ferret. Endangered species like the black-footed ferret are thrown to the verge of extinction by virtue of an epidemic of bubonic plague. A biodiversity research paper could tell you of the threats to your nation’s biodiversity

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association defines captive breeding as “Raising animals (or plants) in controlled conditions to produce stock for subsequent release into the wild.” Some captive breeding programs include departments within zoos, rescues, and sanctuaries where animals or plants are kept in enclosures and bred to produce future generations of their species. The focus of captive breeding programs is on rare, threatened, and endangered species therefore, it is used as a much-needed
