Wild mongooses avoid inbreeding with unusual reproductive strategy
2015-06-11 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Researchers studying banded mongooses in Uganda have discovered that these small mammals are able to discriminate between relatives and non-relatives to avoid inbreeding even when mating within their own closely related social group. Inbreeding can be a big problem for social species such as banded mongooses because they grow up in social groups consisting mainly of close relatives. This study is the first to suggest that social animals are able to avoid the co…

Critically endangered species should be left to breed in the wild
2015-06-04 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Some near-extinct species should be encouraged to breed in the wild rather than in captivity - according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA). Captive breeding programmes offer a last resort to guard against extinction of critically endangered species such as Sumatran tigers and Arabian oryx. But a new study published today in the Journal of Applied Ecology shows more should be done to prevent extinction in the wild. Lead re…
06.24: The New Wild: Why Invasive Species Will Be Nature's Salvation
2015-05-29 03:05:52| Powells Books Events Calendar
For a long time, veteran environmental journalist Fred Pearce thought in stark terms about invasive species: they were the evil interlopers spoiling pristine "natural" ecosystems. Most conservationists and environmentalists share this view. However, a growing group of scientists is taking a fresh look at how species interact in the wild. In The New Wild (Beacon), Pearce goes on a journey across six continents to rediscover what conservation in the 21st century should be about. In an era of climate change and widespread ecological damage, it is absolutely crucial that we find ways to help nature regenerate. Embracing the new ecology, Pearce shows us, is our best chance.
