Our maternal penning approach was unique in that it involved confining pregnant females and their dependent offspring on native range for a brief period during a crucial life stage.... Maternal penning is quite different from captive breeding, a common approach for conservation of critically endangered species... Breeding populations are maintained long-term in facilities that are most often distant from their native habitats... 1, record 1, English, - maternal%20penning

L'objectif de la mise en enclos des femelles gestantes est d'aider un plus grand nombre de petits à survivre. Les femelles gestantes sont capturées dans la nature à la fin de l'hiver et sont mises dans un enclos temporaire pendant quatre à huit semaines. Pendant cette période, des petits naissent et vivent leurs premières semaines de vie à l'abri des prédateurs. Cependant, les femelles et les petits sont ensuite mis en liberté au printemps, lorsque les petits ont un ou deux mois. 1, record 1, French, - mise%20en%20enclos%20de%20femelles%20gestantes

To assess the conservation status of protected populations and enable effective mitigation for endangered species, we must first estimate the proportion of a population that is being removed by fisheries as bycatch... Typically, this is achieved by first assessing the bycatch rate through on-board observations by dedicated scientific observers, then extrapolating observed bycatch levels to include the total fishing effort within a population's range or management area. 2, record 3, English, - bycatch%20rate

Conservation genetics is a mixture of ecology, molecular biology, population genetics, mathematical modeling and evolutionary systematics (the construction of family relationships). It is both a basic and an applied science. Scientists must first understand the genetic relationships of the organisms under study. ... management techniques must then be applied by wildlife managers to preserve biological diversity in these species. ...
