Management costs for endangered species

Article Abstract:

Locations protected to increase the number of endangered species require active management to maintain long-term suitability and success. Proper funding of these projects are hampered by the lack of information on regional and national levels. Researchers estimate that the cost concerning occupied habitats of the US endangered species threatened by alien species or by fires totals between $32 and $42 mil annually. Without adequate funding, many of the endangered species will face declines or extinctions even if their habitats are nominally protected.

Mitochondrial DNA phylogeography and the conservation of endangered Lesser Antillean Icterus Orioles

Article Abstract:

Research presented examines the evolutionary differentiation of threatened oriole species endemic to specific islands in the Lesser Antilles. Topics addressed include the mitochondrial DNA sequence from the orioles in geographically distinct regions, classification of the oriole taxa, and the implications for conservation.
