Abstract:
<I>In situ </I>conservation is considered as conservation of wild biota in the natural habitat (locality). The authors extend the term to cultivated fruit species naturalised in the landscape, such as occasional spontaneous seedlings, and planted material such as old solitary trees among fields, old groves, avenues (country lanes), wind-breaks, and abandoned remnants of orchards. <I>In situ </I>conservation is also used to mark unique materials during collecting expeditions, before they will be taken as <I>ex situ </I>or proclaimed as permanent <I>in situ</I>. Important landraces found within 12 regions of the Czech Republic were registered, evaluated, and <I>in situ </I>localised by Global Positioning System (GPS). The following accessions were marked for in-situ conservation: apple (401), sweet cherry (263), pear (91), plum (42), sour cherry (27), and berry fruits (18).

Abstract:
Wildlife conservation is essential for maintaining ecological balance, providing economic benefits, supporting scientific research, and preserving cultural heritage. Both in-situ and ex-situ conservation methods are critical for protecting biodiversity and ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources. In-situ conservation allows species to thrive in their natural environments, maintaining ecological interactions and evolutionary processes. It is cost-effective, promotes public participation, and preserves entire ecosystems. However, it requires large areas of land and can be challenging to implement in regions with high human population density. Ex-situ conservation provides an additional layer of protection for species that are critically endangered or whose habitats are severely threatened. Facilities like zoos, botanical gardens, and seed banks play a crucial role in breeding programs, research, and public education. These efforts complement in-situ conservation by serving as reservoirs of genetic diversity and sources for species reintroduction. Together, in-situ and ex-situ conservation strategies form a comprehensive approach to wildlife conservation, ensuring the preservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources for future generations. Effective conservation requires coordinated efforts at local, national, and international levels, involving governments, organizations, scientists, and communities in a collective commitment to protecting our planet's natural heritage.

Abstract:
Conservation of native animal genetic resource is vital to maintain genetic diversity sustainably and to cope with the future challenging climate change. Thus, the aim of this paper was to review the experience of sheep conservation practice in Turkey and future prospects in Ethiopia. In turkey, fifteen sheep types are extinct and other native sheep population decreased by 47% due to an unplanned crossbreeding program. For these reasons, sheep genetic resource ex-situ in vivo conservation project started in 1995 with three sheep breeds. The animal breeding law regarding registration of new breed and conservation of animal genetic resources was enacted in 2001 in Turkey. In-situ conservation subsidies of sheep breeds near to extinction have been continued since 2005. Following these events, in vitro conservation of germplasm of 13 sheep breeds have been initiated in 2007 and two gene banks have been established and thereby sperm, embryo, cell, and DNA of from each sheep breed conserved in the gene bank. Although they were successful in both in-situ and ex-situ conservations with some limitations, in-situ conserved sheep breeds had better productivity than ex-situ in vivo conserved sheep in Turkey. In the case of Ethiopia, in-situ conservation will be compatible with the existing infrastructure. Through balancing the genetic gain and inbreeding level, it is possible to integrate the existing community-based genetic improvement programs (with in breed selection) with sustainable in-situ conservation of native sheep genetic resources in Ethiopia.

Abstract:
We introduce a novel approach for conservation of endangered plant species in which <em>ex situ</em> collections maintained in natural or semi-natural environment are a part of a complementary <em>ex situ</em> – <em>in situ</em> conservation strategy. We provide detailed guidelines for 1) representative sampling of the populations; 2) collection maintenance; and 3) utilization for in situ actions. Our approach is the first that explicitly takes into account ecologically significant (i.e. adaptive) variation of plants in both <em>ex situ</em> and <em>in situ</em> conservation actions. We propose that an important part of the conservation strategy is preserving both neutral and adaptive genetic diversity through a quasi <em>in situ</em> conservation approach. Finally, we demonstrate this approach using a critically endangered plant species, <em>Iris atrofusca</em> from the northern Negev, Israel.

Abstract:
The concept of Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations (PSESP) has been employed to guide conservation of threatened plant species in China. Climate change has a high potential to threaten PSESP. As a result, it is necessary to integrate climate change effects on PSESP into conservation planning in China. Here, ecological niche modelling is used to project current and future habitat distributions of six PSESP in China under climate change scenarios and conservation planning software is applied to identify priority conservation areas (PCAs) for these PSESP based on habitat distributions. These results were used to provide proposals for in-situ and ex-situ conservation measures directed at PSESP. It was found that annual precipitation was important for habitat distributions for all six PSESP (with the percentage contribution to habitat distributions ranging from 18.1 % to 74.9 %) and non-climatic variables including soil and altitude have a large effect on habitat suitability of PSESP. Large quantities of PCAs occurred within some provincial regions for these six PSESP (e.g. Sichuan and Jilin for the PSESP Cathaya argyrophylla, Taxus cuspidata, Annamocarya sinensis and Madhuca pasquieri), indicating that these are likely to be appropriate areas for in-situ and ex-situ conservation measures directed at these PSESP. Those nature reserves with large quantities of PCAs were identified as promising sites for in-situ conservation measures of PSESP; such reserves include Yangzie and Dongdongtinghu for C. argyrophylla, Songhuajiangsanhu and Changbaishan for T. cuspidata and Shiwandashanshuiyuanlian for Tsoongiodendron odorum. These results suggest that existing seed banks and botanical gardens occurring within identified PCAs should allocate more resources and space to ex-situ conservation of PSESP. In addition, there should be additional botanical gardens established for ex-situ conservation of PSESP in PCAs outside existing nature reserves. To address the risk of negative effects of climate change on PSESP, it is necessary to integrate in-situ and ex-situ conservation as well as climate change monitoring in PSESP conservation planning.

Ukraine is characterized by high diversity of wild flora. Flora of Ukraine is one of the richest in Europe and includes 4523 species of vascular plants. Ukraine occupies 5.7 % of area of Europe and it contains 37 % of European vascular plants. 9 % of species of vascular plants of Ukraine are endemics. There are 611 species of vascular plants in the Red Data Book of Ukraine. The nature reserves funds of Ukraine included around 7790 objects, occuping around 5.7 % territory of Ukraine. Now Ukraine has a good perspective for improving the net of protected areas. All botanical gardens in Ukraine are involved in <em>ex situ</em> conservation of plants. The collection of rare and endangered species in M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine harbors 136 species included in Red Data Book. Modeling of the populations of rare and endangered species in artificial forest and steppe communities is an original method of <em>ex situ</em> plant conservation.

Abstract:
SummaryLivestock production faces major challenges through the coincidence of major drivers of change, some with conflicting directions. These are:1. An unprecedented global change in demands for traditional livestock products such as meat, milk and eggs.2. Large changes in the demographic and regional distribution of these demands.3. The need to reduce poverty in rural communities by providing sustainable livelihoods.4. The possible emergence of new agricultural outputs such as bio-fuels making a significant impact upon traditional production systems.5. A growing awareness of the need to reduce the environmental impact of livestock production.6. The uncertainty in the scale and impact of climate change. This paper explores these challenges from a scientific perspective in the face of the large-scale and selective erosion of our animal genetic resources, and concludes thai there is a stronger and more urgent need than ever before to secure the livestock genetic resources available to humankind through a comprehensive global conservation programme.

Abstract:
Habitat loss and fragmentation, the illegal wildlife trade and exploitation for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) threaten the sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) with extinction. The confiscation or rescue of bears affected by each of these threats results in an ethical dilemma for conservation practitioners as they must decide over the fate of the confiscated bear and which decision is in the interest of long-term species survival. To understand the conservation status of any species, it is essential to have access to as much long-term information as possible. This requires a standardized approach to communicate research results and approaches in order to inform scientists without the risk of data being miss-interpreted. Using the standardized PRISMA-p model (commonly applied in medical professions) in the systematic review of white literature on sun bears (Chapter 2) resulted in the Helarctos-database that will be made publicly available. This method allowed for a standardized reporting on the current literature and revealed that the sun bear has been neglected by the scientific community. Furthermore, it identified genetic (and genomic) research on the sun bear as one of the main research gaps. Genetics and genomics find many applications in ex-situ and in-situ conservation. To protect species, it is essential to understand their evolutionary history and adaptation potential to a changing environment. In Chapter 3 of this thesis, the mitochondrial genomes of museum-derived, as well as contemporary, sun bear samples covering most of the distribution range of the sun bear were sequenced using next-generation sequencing methods. While phylogeography helps to resolve taxonomic uncertainties, identify species and sub-species that may be warranted conservation priority, it also allows the identification of geographical barriers that may have led to speciation events. This first phylogeographic study of the sun bear revealed that there are two lineages: the ‘mainland’ lineage and the ‘sunda’ lineage. These lineages were disconnected at the Isthmus of Kra (Thailand), due to seawater level rises during the Pleistocene. This study demonstrated that waterbodies, if large enough, can create a geographical barrier for sun bears. Understanding barriers to gene-flow is essential for the effective protection of a species. As the human landscape alteration is causing the fragmentation of habitats, understanding the population structure, gene-flow between populations and their genetic variability is becoming essential for conservation management. Chapter 4 of this thesis demonstrates for sun bears in Cambodia how microsatellite (nuclear) markers can identify the number of populations and how these populations are connected. Microsatellite markers are a useful tool to identify hybridization and inbreeding in populations and are therefore capable of identifying populations of conservation concern. This research revealed that there are two sun bear populations, East and West of the Mekong river in Cambodia, and that these two populations are exchanging genes (as is an admixed population). In the population in West Cambodia, inbreeding was detected, indicating that the current exchange of genes between the two populations is not sufficient to maintain genetic diversity in the West population. Currently it is not known what may have caused the loss of genetic diversity of the Western population but illegal wildlife trade may be implicated. Microsatellite markers could be used to develop forensic markers to combat the illegal wildlife trade and to identify endangered animals in TCM products. Although the sun bear is used in TCM products, it is not understood to what level the TCM industry is threatening the sun bear. The fifth Chapter of the thesis tested forensic DNA extraction protocols, extraction kits and Gas-Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) on different Traditional Chinese Medicine products, to determine whether these samples contain sun bear derivate. Currently there are many forensic methods with reference databases for the Asiatic black bear but none regarding the sun bear. The forensic genetic methods employed here were not successful in heavily processed TCM products as they likely did not appear to contain any intact DNA. Therefore, the further development of genetic and non-genetic forensic method to detect sun bear is required. The final Chapter discusses how the findings of the previous Chapters can inform sun bear conservation practitioners who must decide whether they release a sun bear or whether they maintain it in captivity and advises on direct conservation action. Releasing a bear requires detailed knowledge and access to this knowledge about the species. The Helarctos-database would provide a one-stop for sun bear research. The phylogeography analysis identified that two genetically distinct lineages of sun bears. Although the study did not obtain enough samples to conclude on species and subspecies classification, understanding that the sun bears on the mainland are different to the sun bears on the Sunda islands is important for ex-situ breeding and release efforts. The microsatellite study demonstrated that nuclear markers can identify population hybridization, geographical barrier and inbreeding. In the West Cambodian sun bear population inbreeding was detected. This informs conservation actions such as potential augmentation, establishment of connectivity and further research. This study also successfully assigned sun bears of unknown origin to a potential source population, which is critical information for release projects. Furthermore, the forensic analysis of TCM products of sun bears highlighted that forensic methods currently available are ineffective on heavily processed TCM samples and need to be further developed. Being able to test whether sun bear derivate is present in TCM products is necessary to judge the level of threat imposed by the TCM industry on the Malayan sun bear.<br>Thesis (PhD Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Griffith School of Environment<br>Science, Environment, Engineering and Technology<br>Full Text

Abstract:
Gentiana lutea L. subsp lutea (hereafter G. lutea) is a long-lived geophyte, which has high medicinal value for the intensely bitter properties residing mainly in the root, being the main vegetable bitter employed in homeopathy and for the liqueurs production. G. lutea is presented in the Annex V of the Directive 92/43/EEC. In addition, it’s included in the List of endangered medicinal plants in the Annex D to the Council Regulation (EC) No. 338/97 of EU, whose purpose is the protection of plant species by control of their trade. Due to a lack of knowledge on the current G. lutea distributional information in Sardinia, Species Distribution Models (SDMs) could be even an important tool to limit search efforts by selecting the areas where field surveys are to be carried out for guiding discoveries of new localities and to evaluate the influence of extant and extinct localities. Once distribution knowledge was updated, further activities performed on representative localities, including ex situ and in situ studies were carried out. Firstly, our contribution to conserve this specie in Sardinia, included ex situ aspects that provided an alternative and complementary method for preventing immediate extinction and support further interventions. The experimental examination of the time when germination occurs in natural sites, the understanding of the seed behaviour in the soil and the investigation of the germination response under laboratory conditions. In particular, the isolated and on the boundary Sardinian population can differ genetically and morphologically from central populations because of their smaller population size and greater physical and ecological distances from the centre of the range, and may contain genotypes adapted to extreme environmental conditions; it is therefore important to check the effect on seed ecophysiology germination on small and spatial isolated populations. Previous studies have found that the germination of many mountain plants was promoted by cycles of cold-wet stratification that released seed dormancy in transient and permanent seed banks. In this way, dormancy played a key role in optimizing germination success by controlling the timing of germination. Thus, this research would contributed to this species conservation, suggesting the optimal protocol of germination and multiplication and, on the other hand, the information of the different kinds of seed dormancy. G. lutea is reported as being threatened not only by root harvesting practices, but also by global climatic warming due to its distribution, which is restricted mainly to the upper sectors of the mountains. Especially in mountain areas, climate warming is projected to shift species’ ranges to higher elevations. Plant species have responded to global warming through a generally accelerated phenology, enhanced growth and increased reproductive effort. Even fewer studies have addressed such response of the populations at the boundary of species range distributions which are thought to be particularly sensitive to climate change, hence it was evaluated the effect of anomalous temperatures (extremely warm) during the year of 2015 on phenology and reproductive successful. Monitoring the underlying drivers of this variation in phenological shifts will contribute to a mechanistic understanding of the biological effects of climate change. Finally, the criteria established by the IUCN that are widely employed as the gold standard for information on the conservation status of species were applied at regional scale for G. lutea. The assessment through the IUCN Criteria and Categories at global level was updated as Least Concern (LC) and at Italian level as Near Threatened (NT). Considering the regional level, the only previous assessment in Sardinia date to back to 1997 as Critically Endangered (CR), this work will contribute to an implementation of knowledge and conservation management for this taxon. An updating of local conservation status of G. lutea was thus provided by the analysis of its decline and comparing its potential suitable habitats based on the emissions scenarios presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for 2050 and 2070.

Abstract:
Thesis (MScConEcol)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Soil respiration (Rs) is a major component of CO2 emissions and the global carbon balance. In the context of global change it of interest to understand seasonal patterns of RS in fynbos riparian ecosystems, particularly in invaded-riparian ecotones of these Mediterranean type ecosystems (MTE's) in the Western Cape, South Africa. Riparian ecotones are three dimensional transitional zones that provide multiple ecosystem services and functions and they act as the linkage between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems where key ecological and geomorphological processes occur. Riparian ecotones are highly prone to disturbance, and because of this reason are also vulnerable to invasion by invasive alien plants (IAPs), notably Acacia species. Invasion by IAPs is considered one of the major threats to global change and biodiversity causing extensive ecological, economical, and social impacts. In south-western Cape, more than two thirds of the riparian environment is invaded to some extent, IAPs replacing the well adapted native species along river systems. In particular, impact of IAPs on soil respiration (Rs) may be relevant, with consequences for ecosystem function and services. Clearing of invaded riparian zones initiated by the Working for Water program has been a successful in eradicating alien plants within riparian areas even though recovery after alien clearing is lagging at many sites, and knowledge on repair of ecosystem function is lacking. Various studies have generated knowledge on carbon cycling and Rs in forests, savanna, grasslands, tundra and Mediterranean shrublands, but little is known about Rs in riparian zones, and even less about soil CO2 efflux in invaded riparian fynbos riparian ecotones. The objective of this study was to contribute to a better understanding and quantifying the effect and impact of IAPs on carbon cycling between and across riparian ecotones with different invasion status: natural, invaded, and cleared. The study areas were located in the south-western Cape and measurements of Rs, soil temperature, soil moisture, root mass, litter mass, and soil properties were carried out in riparian soils of the mountain and transitional stream longitudinal river sections, and uplands fynbos areas of six different perennial river systems. In each site, four to five transects were laid out with one sampling site of each landscape position (wet bank, dry bank, and terrestrial areas) giving a total of 12 to 15 samples per site. Soil respiration measurements were taken over a period of two years, and were done seasonally. Results from this study showed that Rs was different among seasons with highest soil respiration rates in summer. Soil CO2 efflux increased in response to warm and dry conditions during summer, while seasonal soil CO2 efflux declined in autumn and winter in response to wet and cold soil conditions. The large increase in soil CO2 efflux response to warm and dry periods when temperature was 25 to 30 °C over all riparian sites and was highest in invaded sites compared to the natural and cleared sites. A significant difference was found between sites with different statuses with invaded sites leading seasonal Rs rates. Natural and cleared sites did not differ significantly in their CO2 efflux rates, suggesting that clearing of IAPs may put invaded ecosystems on a trajectory of restoration. There were also differences in terms of landscape positions; dry banks zones of the invaded sites had higher rates compared to wet banks and the uplands areas. Our results further suggest that roots are the most important component of overall Rs rates, rather than microbial respiration. When we incubated soils minus roots, little difference was evident, either when viewing the results by invasion status or by landscape position, which suggest that inherent soil differences in terms of microbial respiration were not different. We also use a trenching approach to further investigate this, and though we found Rs to decline significantly, trends later suggest that decomposition of fine and course roots likely obscured the decline in overall Rs due to root respiration. Overall, our results showed that clearing of invaded riparian zones will likely lead to successful restoration of soil functioning in terms of C cycling. Clearing of Acacia-invaded riparian ecotones will likely lead to a decline in root density, and which removes a major component of overall Rs. These results make the investigation of the C balance of invaded riparian ecotones and terrestrial areas critical in order to assess their contribution to regional C cycles.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Grondrespirasie (Rs) is 'n belangrike komponent van CO2 uitstroming en die globale koolstofbalans. Binne die konteks van globale verandering is dit van groot belang om die seisoenale patrone van Rs in fynbos oewer ekosisteme, veral in indringer-oewer ekotone, in die Meditereense tipe ekosisteme (MTE's) in die Wes- Kaap, Suid- Afrika te verstaan. Oewerekotone is drie-dimensioneel oorgangssones wat veelvuldige ekosisteem dienste en funksies verskaf. Hulle dien as die verbinding tussen terrestriële en water-ekosisteme waar kern ekologiese en geomorfologiese prosesse plaasvind. Oewerekotone is hoogs vatbaar vir versteuringe, en as gevolg van hierdie rede, is hul ook kwesbaar vir indringing deur indringer plante (IAPs), veral Acacia spesies. Indringing deur IAPs word beskou as een van die groot bedreigings tot en met globale verandering en biodiversiteit, wat ekstensiewe ekologiese, ekonomiese, en sosiale impakte veroorsaak. In die suid- westelike Kaap word meer as twee derdes van die oeweromgewing tot 'n mate binnegedring. IAPs vervang die goed aangepaste inheemse spesies langs riviersisteme. Die impak van IAPs, spesifiek op grondrespirasie mag substansieël wees, met gevolge vir ekosisteem funksies en dienste. Opruiming van hierdie spesifieke oewer sones, geinisieer deur die Working for Water program, was suksesvol in die uitroeing van indringer plante binne oewer areas. Alhoewel herstel na indringer opruiming op baie terreine agter is, is kennis oor die herstel van ekosisteemfunksies gebrekkig. Verskeie studies het kennis ontwikkel oor koolstofsiklisering en Rs in woude, savanna, graslande, tundra en Meditereense struiklande, maar daar is minimale informasie oor oewersones,en nog minder oor grond CO2 uitstroming in indringer oewer fynbos en oewer ekotone. Die doel van hierdie studie is om 'n bydrae te lewer koolstofsiklisering beter te verstaan, en die impak van IAPs op koolstofsiklisering te kwantifiseer tussen en oor oewerekotone met verkillende indringer statusse: natuurlik, binnegedring en skoongemaak. Die studie areas was geleë in die suid- westelike Kaap, en maatstawe van Rs, grond temperature, grondvogtigheid, wortelmassa, plantafvalmassa, en grondeienskappe is uitgevoer in oewergrond van die berg en transisionele stroom longitudinale rivier seksies, asook terrestriële fynbos areas van ses verskillende standhoudende riviersisteme. In elke area is vier tot vyf transekte uitgelê met een monsternemingsarea van elke landskapsposisie (nat bank, droë bank en terrestriële areas) met 'n totaal van 12 tot 15 monsters per area. Grondrespirasie maatstawe is geneem oor 'n periode van twee jaar, en is seisoenaal uitgevoer. Resultate van die studie het getoon dat Rs verkil het tussen seisoene, met die hoogste grondrespirasietempo in die somer. Grond CO2 uitstroming het toegeneem in reaksie op warm en droë kondisies gedurende somer, terwyl seisoenale grond CO2 uitstroming afgeneem het in herfs en winter in reaksie op nat en koue grond kondisies. Die grootste toename in grond CO2 uitstroming was in reaksie op warm en droë periodes wanneer temperature gewissel het tussen 25 tot 30˚C oor alle oewersones, en was die hoogste in binnegedringde sones, vergeleke met die natuurlike en skoongemaakte terreine. 'n Beduidende verskil is gevind tussen terreine met verskillende statusse in CO2 uitstromingskoerse‚ 'n aanduiding dat opruiming van IAPs binnegedringde ekosisteme op 'n trajek van restorasie plaas. Daar was ook verskille in terme van landskapsposisies; droë bank sones van die binnegedringde terreine het hoër tempos gehad, vergeleke met die nat bank en die hoogland areas. Ons resultate dui verder aan dat wortels, eerder as mikrobiologiese respirasie, die mees belangrike komponente van Rs koerse uitmaak. Toe ons grond minus wortels inkubeer, is min verskille opgemerk, as gekyk word na die resultate deur indringer status of landskapsposisie, wat toon dit dat inherente grondveskille in terme van mikrobiologiese respirasie nie verskillend is nie. Ons het verder ook 'n sloot-benadering gebruik om verdere ondersoek hierop in te stel, en alhoewel ons bevind dat Rs aansienlik afgeneem het, dui neigings later aan dat afbraak van fyn en growwe wortels die afname in gehele Rs as gevolg van wortel respirasie waarskynlik verdoesel. Ons resultate dui daarop dat opruiming van binngedringde oewers klaarblyklik sal lei tot suksesvolle restorasie van grondfunksionering in terme van C siklisering. Opruiming van Acacia- binnegedringde oewer ekotone sal vermoedelik lei tot 'n afname in worteldigtheid, en wat 'n belangrike komponent van die gehele Rs kan verwyder. Hierdie resultate maak die ondersoek van die C balans van binngedringde oewer ekotone en terrestriële areas krities, om sodoende hulle bydrae tot streeksgewyse C siklusse te asseseer.

Abstract:
Amphibians are declining worldwide in response to pressures that are too numerous, difficult and rapid to ameliorate in the wild before some taxa become extinct. Ex situ conservation, whereby animals are maintained in captivity until threats in the wild have been resolved, is the only means of saving up to five hundred amphibian species. Amongst political, financial and practical hurdles, the most fundamental problem for these programmes is lack of knowledge about how to maintain species successfully in captivity. Captive populations have failed to survive or reproduce and, furthermore, captive husbandry may produce animals unsuitable for reintroduction through intra or inter-generational changes. These problems entirely undermine initiatives and if ex situ programs are to succeed, evidence based captive husbandry is needed to support captive breeding programs. In this thesis, I quantify our ignorance of amphibian requirements in captivity. Furthermore, I present investigations into fundamental areas ofamphibian husbandry, about which we currently know very little. I investigate the relationship between amphibians and Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation and examine the relationship between UVB provision and calcium provision and evaluate routes of dietary calcium supplementation. I also present data on the effects of enrichment and rearing environment on the growth, fitness, behaviour and dermal bacterial communities of captive amphibians. These results, from a range of areas of amphibian husbandry, together demonstrate the power of the captive environment to influence the phenotype and therefore the fitness of amphibians, even within single generations. Additionally, I provide some of the first data addressing key areas of amphibian husbandry that until now have been led mostly or entirely by anecdote and hearsay.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The main objective of this thesis is to carry out a complete analysis of all the key factors that positively or negatively affect the conservation of archaeological material in order to find the best possible way for the implementation of in-situ conservation of shipwrecks in the Mediterranean Sea. It must be kept in mind that in-situ conservation in the Mediterranean Sea is a very complicated process that requires a multidisciplinary approach and analysis of the most important parameters and factors. For this reason it was necessary to break down the entire problem into its basic components (definition, value and importance of the process of formation of shipwreck sites, the greatest threats that jeopardize it) in order to better understand and find a more efficient method for protection and in-situ conservation of shipwreck sites. In addition, this complex analysis will be supported from the theoretical point of view, as well as by the latest researches conducted in the area of the Mediterranean Sea in order to determine the real potential for the conservation of shipwrecks. It is known that the Mediterranean Sea does not provide good conditions for conservation and that the main problems associated with in-situ conservation in the Mediterranean Sea are related to natural environmental conditions, more precisely, physical and biological impacts, but also the human factors that have the greatest influence on the degradation of a shipwreck. For this reason, a large part of the thesis will be devoted to the analysis of these factors and the potential danger that they pose to a shipwreck site. It is highly important to understand how significant their impact on the degradation of archaeological shipwreck sites is, and that the future protection methods and in-situ conservation will mostly depend on them. Also, will be necessary to provide an argumentative reflection and comparative analysis of the methods and results of studies that have been applied in other areas. For this reason, the importance of projects that were carried out in the Baltic Sea in recent decades must be noted. Discoveries and conclusions from these projects have made a great contribution in the field of in-situ conservation and gained experience and knowledge have enabled the use of this method even in conditions that are significantly different from the Baltic, like, for example, in the area of the Mediterranean Sea.

Abstract:
Ex-situ conservation and the in-situ conservation of natural habitats are the tools to conserve biodiversity. Habitats and ecosystems have been becoming altered by human activities and a growing number of species requires form of management to ensure their survival. Conservation queries become more complex and urgent. Developing scientifically based and innovative approaches to ex-situ conservation is necessary. Recent studies underline importance of gut microbiome in animal health with implications for animal conservation and management. Animal and human studies have demonstrated that environmental factors can impact gut microbiome composition. Within this scenario, the present work focused on species belonging to different taxa, reptiles and mammals: Aldabrachelys gigantea, the giant tortoise of the Seychelles islands and Indri indri, the greatest leaving lemur of Madagascar. The Seychelles giant tortoise is vulnerable species with declining population, whereas the indri is a critically endangered species that could reach the extinction within 25 years. Both need research to help them to survive. Tortoises live for very long time and to observe how they can afford the environmental changes is very difficult. Indris, instead, are able to survive only in a small area of the Madagascar forest, with a very strong link between the species’ survival and the environment. The obtained results underline importance of environmental factors, both in-situ and ex-situ, for species conservation. Microbiome could help the organisms to respond on a short timescale and cope with, environmental changes. However, species with long generation time might not be able to adapt to fast changes but bacteria with a short generation time can adapt on a shorter timescale allowing the host to cope with fluctuating environment. Gut microbiome plays an important role in an animal’s health and has the potential to improve the management of individuals under human care for conservation purposes.

Full text
Abstract:
The genus Restrepia is well known to orchid enthusiasts but its micromorphology has not been described, and its pollination and breeding systems have not been investigated. The aim of this investigation was, therefore, to add to existing knowledge so that the resultant data could be used to facilitate ex situ conservation initiatives. A detailed electron microscopy study (SEM) of the floral organs was performed. This confirmed the structure of the dorsal sepal and lateral petal osmophores, their secretory nature together with that of the synsepal and the labellum. It was postulated how, by manipulating different labellar surface textures, the flower might use these ‘tactile guides’ to steer the insect (fly) through the flower. The cirrhi were postulated to help by destabilising the pollinator in flight, trapping it and bringing about pollination. The papillate structure of the calli was established and their optical properties investigated. Media comparison investigations established that Western medium supported the highest germination rates and, with the addition of banana supplement, the highest rates for seedling growth and development. This represented the first protocol for axenic germination of Restrepia in the literature (Millner et al., 2008) and provided a tested methodology for investigating breeding systems and producing Restrepia plant material for both scientific and horticultural purposes. Self-pollinations were found to produce fewer embryos compared to cross-pollinations. The operation of self-incompatibility (SI) was confirmed by the study of pollen tube growth which further confirmed the time interval between pollination and fertilisation. A time line from pollination/fertilisation to flowering was established. The type of SI in operation was best explained by gametophytic incompatibility. This demonstrated that it was possible to raise Restrepia hybrids and species from seed, by performing intraspecific crosses so helping to preserve them for posterity and relieve pressure on wild populations. Narrow endemic Restrepia species face combined threats from habitat loss, habitat degradation and problems of viable seed production due to the effects of SI and inbreeding depression (ID). Recently developed online resources, such as GeoCAT, were used to perform a Red List assessment in order to identify the degree of threat individual species faced, both globally and nationally. All species were classified as facing substantial levels of threat; although this was lessened for populations in protected habitats. Conservation is needed for cultivated collections as well as these wild populations by keeping alive existing knowledge and expertise in growing these species.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this project was to combine species distribution modelling (SDM) with the results of a molecular genetic diversity study to make suggestions for sites on which to locate genetic reserves. This work was complemented by a molecular genetic diversity and a forest management policy study, to examine the potential for in situ conservation of the crop wild relative species, Prunus avium. In order to identify the species distribution, the most widely available occurrence data were in the form of historical records, gathered from online repositories and herbaria. A selection of environmental variables were incorporated with occurrence records in the SDM software, MaxEnt, to estimate the existing and possible future distribution of this species. Different sampling methods and combinations of accessions were used to evaluate model performance. This work was supplemented by the use of microsatellite marker analysis, to identify genetic distance among samples collected, covering the species‘ range. Clear separation was found between the individuals from the south-eastern edge of the range, and all other European samples. The effect of management practices on the persistence of wild cherry in managed forests and the impact of conservation policy was also considered, using case studies from the UK and Belgium, interviews and grey literature. Results showed that the difficulties of obtaining reliable, unbiased data can be overcome, as long as these factors are considered in conservation planning. Suggestions are made for several potential reserve sites across Europe, in a variety of forested environments, with differing management priorities.

Abstract:
Abstract The effects of climate change and biodiversity loss are global and not limited by national borders, with forest ecosystems, in particular, suffering under increasing pressure. To preserve and maintain species genetic diversity, well-considered in situ and ex situ measures are needed. We present a step-by-step guide outlining the key processes for structuring, performing, and selecting appropriate sustainable use and conservation measures for forest genetic resources (FGR). Two case studies focusing on European white elm (Ulmus laevis Pall.) and wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz), for which the guide was followed, demonstrate that differences in the regional genetic pattern should be followed when designing FGR sustainable use and conservation efforts. The fact that seed orchards can maintain high genetic diversity and provide high-quality, genetically diverse seed material makes them an optimal supplement to in situ genetic conservation units. Especially for scattered or threatened tree species, ex situ measures are of utmost importance. In light of a severe pest outbreak, i.e., ash dieback, preserving less susceptible ash trees (Fraxinus excelsior L.) is crucial to enable their reproduction and facilitate gene flow among them to prevent crucial loss of genetic diversity and eventually the species itself. Therefore, forest genetic monitoring should be used more intensively to observe, measure, and assess the long-term FGR conservation efforts as genetic variation is an integral part of biological diversity, which requires special attention.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the process followed to reduce raw water consumption in an oilsand extraction and upgrading facility, located in Northern Alberta, Canada. To successfully reduce raw water consumption it is critical to understand where the water is used, how the water is used, and to develop alternative sources/supplies of water. A site-wide water management program was initiated in 2003 to address increasing water inventories within the tailings ponds. Results achieved to date, on-going projects as well as path forwards are presented in this case study.

Under the current conditions, when we witness a drastic decline in plant diversity globally, the main mission of botanical gardens, which is the preservation and conservation of biodiversity, has become a necessity. The technological progress and the intensive use of natural resources have considerably increased the anthropogenic impact on biological diversity, essentially reducing the number of species and varieties of living organisms. In the global practice, botanical gardens are mainly involved in ex situ conservation activities, based in particular on the creation and maintenance of living plant collections and herbaria, therefore, they propose their own management based on the promotion of the concepts of biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of plant resources, the implementation and influence of the national and international policy on biodiversity conservation.

Abstract:
The network project titled “Nordic animal gene banks – added value through Nordic cooperation” (NordFrost), has aimed to strengthen the collaboration and competence for ex-situ conservation of animal genetic resources (AnGR) in the Nordic region. This project was launched as a case study following the Horizon2020 funded IMAGE project (2016-2020) where it was concluded that there is a broad variation in the current state of practices and the distribution of responsibilities related to cryoconservation activities between the Nordic countries. The national strategies on conserving AnGR emphasise ex-situ conservation in varying degrees. However, collection of samples, metadata, back-up storage of material or common strategies and action plans for ex-situ conservation on a regional level does not exist. This makes conservation of AnGR an exposed area that threatens the resilience of Nordic food security. By developing new collaborative models, strengthening Nordic infrastructure, and enhancing the development of Nordic strategies for ex-situ conservation in the region, this network will contribute to increased sustainability for populations and future Nordic food security.

Abstract:
Zoos and aquariums have evolved from 19th century “one of everything” menageries to conservation-focused institutions. Zoos may maintain and breed animals for several reasons, namely conservation, education, and research. There are three main focuses of conservation breeding programs: ark, rescue, and supplementation (support for in situ programs). Using practical examples, this module examines conservation breeding programs and major topics that must be taken into consideration when designing and implementing these programs (e.g., conservation genetics, population management, and adaptations to captivity), as well as challenges faced by these programs (e.g., surplus populations, anti-zoo arguments).

Abstract:
This module describes the evolution in approaches to ICDPs over time. Some of the major problems identified in ICDP evaluations are discussed within two broad categories: (a) design and conceptual issues and (b) implementation issues. Global experiences in the implementation of several ICDPs have generated lessons and determinants of success for ICDPs, which will continue to represent predominant strategies for site-based conservation. The synthesis reviews some emerging perspectives on approaches to help ICDPs make a sustained contribution to biodiversity conservation and ends with a brief discussion on the continuing debate on the relationship between economic development and biodiversity conservation. The future of ICDPs involves improving their effectiveness by consciously applying lessons learned and simultaneously developing additional tools to help achieve biodiversity conservation.
