Captive breeding of wild rabbits: Techniques and population dynamics
Article Abstract:
A semiextensive system for breeding wild rabbits in captivity that provides an efficient way to maintain the genetic diversity of rabbits that would improve the low fertility rates and high mortality typically found when wild rabbits are reared in captivity is designed and implemented. The use of artificial burrows contributes to resolve majority of the management problems, enhancing animal life and help in conservation of species in serious danger of extinction.

Population genetic assignment of confiscated gopher tortoises
Article Abstract:
The forensic applicability of genetic assignment tests based on microsatellite genotypic data is evaluated to accurately assign individuals to the sample location and to determine the origin of confiscated tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus). This method is used for identifying the origin of confiscated gopher tortoises and for determining the genetic appropriateness of potential recipient populations when it is required to relocate individuals.
