Using Genetic Modeling to Assess the Health and Status of Manatee Populations

September 2005 | Publisher: USGS (Soundwaves) | Science Center: USGS Other | Format: URL

soundwaves.usgs.gov — Biologists in the Sirenia Project at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Florida Integrated Science Center (FISC) in Gainesville, FL, are currently identifying and mapping the genetic material of manatees. Their goal is to better understand and predict the manatee's ability to react to environmental stimuli, such as prolonged periods of cold More...

Coral Microbial Ecology: Coastal and Marine Geology Program

Publisher: USGS (Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Eastern Region) | Format: URL

coastal.er.usgs.gov — Coral microbial ecology is the study of the relationship of coral-associated microorganisms to each other, the coral host, and to their environment. Just as we humans have beneficial bacteria living on our skin and in our intestines, corals also have co-habitating non-pathogenic (not disease-causing) microbes. These microbes include bacteria, More...

Genetic Analysis of Pacific Salmonids in the Northeast Pacific and the Russian Far East

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Western Fisheries Research Center (WFRC, Seattle) | Format: URL

wfrc.usgs.gov — This U.S./Russian collaboration will investigate genetics and life histories of Kamchatka Peninsula rainbow trout and steelhead (O. mykiss), and Dolly Varden, white-spotted, and arctic char (S. malma, S. leucomaensis, and S. alpinus, respectively). Both anadromous and resident forms of these generally occur in Kamchatka rivers that are free from More...
