Role of genetic background in the success of reintroduced peregrine falcons
Article Abstract:
The role of genetic background in success of reintroduced Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) was studied in the midwestern US and in Canada. It appears that the adaptability of the species was adequate to override genetic differences of subspecies. Five of seven subspecies released after extirpation of the original birds by chlorinated hydrocarbons contributed to the new breeding population.

Genetic variation for morphological and allozyme variation in relation to population size in Clarkia dudleyana, an endemic annual
Article Abstract:
Genetic variation for morphological and allozyme variation in relation to population size in Clarkia dudleyana, an endemic annual. Maintenance of genetic variation within populations is thought to allow species to respond to evolutionary challenges. Study shows that levels of allozyme variability do not predict levels of genetic variation for morphological trains in C. dudleyana.

Evaluating the effectiveness of corridors: a genetic approach
Article Abstract:
The effectiveness of corridors, residual landscape structures in coniferous forests, in maintaining population structure in the red-backed vole, a habitat generalist, and the deer mouse, a habitat specialist, has been evaluated with a genetic approach. The species were seen to respond differently to forest corridors.
