Accidentally Adorable! Jess Doutrich Making Meaning Pratt Institute Fall ‘10 accidentally adorable! jess doutrich making meaning pratt institute fall ‘10 In the middle of Kansas, stood a genetics lab. One day, a tornado came along and mixed up the dna of all the wild animals in the lab. What came out as a result was... “accidentally adorable!” TOR DNA IS RABLE!” TORNADO STRIKES KANSAS GENETICS LAB: DNA IS MIS-MATCHED! THE RESULT? ” “ACCIDENTALLY ADORABLE!” /HRSZD¿VK my design aims to build a positive, fun, and creative relationship between humans and the natural world. (a mix and match of wildlife) This project focuses on play and education, using plush animal “hybrids” to bring attention to wild animal conservation. The end result will be a collection of plush animals that share a common theme; mix and match. Each plush will incorporate 2 animal species; each from different spectrums of the animal kingdom. (i.e. reptile with a mammal, fish with bird, etc.) The hybrid quality will come from the body of one animal mixed with the “graphic” patterning, texture or color of another animal. Overall, this product aims to establish a positive relationship between the user and wild animal. The animal species chosen to mix and match were random except that they were opposite in taxonomic class.

  • Hawaiian Tree Snail Genetics
    Appendix ES-9 Introduction Recent evolutionary radiations on island chains such as the Hawaiian Islands can provide insight into evolutionary processes, such as genetic drift and adaptation (Wallace 1880, Grant and Grant 1994, Losos and Ricklefs 2009). For limited mobility species, colonization processes hold important evolutionary stories not just among islands, but within islands as well (Holland and Hadfield 2002, Parent 2012). One such radiation produced at least 91 species of Hawaiian tree snails in the endemic subfamily Achatinellinae, on at least five of the six main Hawaiian Islands: O‘ahu, Maui, Lana‘i, Moloka‘i, and Hawai‘i (Pilsbry and Cooke 1912–1914, Holland and Hadfield 2007). As simultaneous hermaphrodites with the ability to self-fertilize, colonization events among islands may have occurred via the accidental transfer of a single individual by birds (Pilsbry and Cooke 1912–1914), or via land bridges that connected Maui, Molokai, and Lanai at various points in geologic history (Price and Elliot- Fisk 2004). Early naturalists attributed speciation solely to genetic drift, noting that this subfamily was “still a youthful group in the full flower of their evolution” (Pilsbry and Cooke 1912–1914). However, as these species evolved over dramatic precipitation and temperature gradients, natural selection and adaptation may have been quite rapid as species expanded to fill unexploited niches along environmental gradients, early in this subfamily’s history. As such, species in the subfamily Achatinellinae provide an excellent system for examining both neutral and adaptive processes of evolution. Habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and over-harvesting by collectors led to the extinction of more than 50 species in the subfamily Achatinellinae, and resulted in the declaration of all remaining species in the genus Achatinella as Endangered (Hadfield and Mountain 1980; U.S.

  • Introduction to Risk Assessments for Methods Used in Wildlife Damage Management
    Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment for the Use of Wildlife Damage Management Methods by USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services Chapter I Introduction to Risk Assessments for Methods Used in Wildlife Damage Management MAY 2017 Introduction to Risk Assessments for Methods Used in Wildlife Damage Management EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services (WS) Program completed Risk Assessments for methods used in wildlife damage management in 1992 (USDA 1997). While those Risk Assessments are still valid, for the most part, the WS Program has expanded programs into different areas of wildlife management and wildlife damage management (WDM) such as work on airports, with feral swine and management of other invasive species, disease surveillance and control. Inherently, these programs have expanded the methods being used. Additionally, research has improved the effectiveness and selectiveness of methods being used and made new tools available. Thus, new methods and strategies will be analyzed in these risk assessments to cover the latest methods being used. The risk assements are being completed in Chapters and will be made available on a website, which can be regularly updated. Similar methods are combined into single risk assessments for efficiency; for example Chapter IV contains all foothold traps being used including standard foothold traps, pole traps, and foot cuffs. The Introduction to Risk Assessments is Chapter I and was completed to give an overall summary of the national WS Program. The methods being used and risks to target and nontarget species, people, pets, and the environment, and the issue of humanenss are discussed in this Chapter. From FY11 to FY15, WS had work tasks associated with 53 different methods being used.

A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences at The University of Waikato by SAMANTHA MAREE PARKES 2010 Abstract The invasion of non-indigenous species is considered to be one of the leading causes of biodiversity loss globally. My research aimed to determine if constructed water bodies (e.g., water supply reservoirs, dams and ponds) were invaded by zooplankton with greater ease than natural water bodies, and whether this was due to a lower biodiversity, and therefore lower 'biotic resistance', in constructed water bodies. Sediment cores were collected from a cross-section of 46 lakes, ponds and reservoirs (23 natural and 23 constructed) throughout the North Island, New Zealand. Diapausing zooplankton eggs were separated from the sediments and hatched to assess species composition and richness.
