References Profile Pictures: Wild Yak #1 (19 Kb JPEG) UN FAO Wild Yak #2 (51 Kb JPEG) The wild yak has a dense undercoat of soft, close-matted hair which is covered by generally dark brown to black outer hair. Its long, shaggy coat reaches almost to the ground. The wild yak can weigh up to 1000 kg (2200 lb) with a shoulder height of over 2 m (6.5'). It occurs in treeless uplands, including plains, hills, and mountains, from as low as 3200 m (10,500') up to the limit of vegetation at about 5400 m (18,000'). It stays in high areas with permanent snow during the warmer months of August and September, and spends the rest of the year at lower elevations. The wild yak grazes on grasses, herbs and lichens . Ordinarily it gathers in groups of 10 - 30 or more, but it may occasionally be observed in large groups of 100 - 200. The wild yak was once numerous and widespread on the entire Tibetan plateau north of the Himalayas. Currently it is found in remote areas of the Tibetan plateau and adjacent highlands, including Gansu Province, China , with a few having been observed in the Chang Chenmo Valley of Ladakh (eastern Kashmir, India ). Wild yak distribution is highly clumped, with most animals in widely scattered herds, concentrated in the areas with little disturbance by humans. A survey conducted in 2003 found increasing populations of wild yak compared to previous surveys taken 10 years earlier.

We have found it useful to collect these references for our own work and we are glad to share our efforts with others. This bibliography contains approximately 4000 references on various aspects of biodiversity and conservation. No pretense is made of complete coverage of all the relevant literature. Certain areas that closely match our interests are well covered (e.g., various aspects of economics, reserve site selection) while other topics are not. The bibliography uses Procite bibliographic software, which allows web-users to conduct searches using a general word search in all indexed fields (such as author and year) on the initial search page. Users can also search all non-indexed fields (such as title and abstracts) using the advanced search feature. Recent articles have abstracts included. Many older articles do not. All articles either have abstracts or are keyed to a set of categories, which can be accessed using keywords. A list of these keywords is given below. If you would like a pdf file containing all the articles within a keyword category, please select the links below.

Center For Conservation And Biodiversity Cooperative effort the Department of ecology and Evolutionary Biology, the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History, and the Geological and Natural History Survey of the Connecticut State Department of Environmental Protection. Its mission is to protect the diversity of life through education, training, and research in ecology, evolutionary biology, and systematics. http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/ccb/ccb.html

University of Connecticut Center for Conservation and Biodiversity T he Center for Conservation and Biodiversity was established in 1993 by the Board of Trustees of the University of Connecticut as a cooperative effort between the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History, and the Geological and Natural History Survey of the Connecticut State Department of Environmental Protection. Its mission is to protect the diversity of life through education, training, and research in ecology, evolutionary biology, and systematics - disciplines that are the foundation of sound conservation practice. A primary goal of the Center is to promote research and training in the conservation of biodiversity on the local, national and international scene. Basic scientific research is fostered along with applications to solving sustainable conservation issues. The Center provides financial support for graduate and undergraduate training and research in the fields of conservation, ecology, evolution and systematics. The Center is working with several private foundations and corporations to establish research fellowships for students, to fund an annual research award competition for graduate students, and to provide student travel to conduct research and attend professional meetings. T he Center sponsors a Colloquium in Conservation and Biodiversity that brings distinguished scholars to campus each year. The Edwin Way Teale Nature and Environment Colloquium is highly intradisciplinary in scope inviting economists, geographers, land managers, philosophers, nature writers, sociologists, policymakers, biologists, and, of course, environmental scientists. Lectures are attended by students, faculty, conservation agencies, and lay people.

80. UNIT 1 INTERRELATION OF biodiversity, ecology, AND EVOLUTION. Concepts biodiversity is the diversity of life in all its forms and at all levels of organization. http://geography.unco.edu/Biodiversity/Unit1/UNIT_1_Intro.htm

UNIT 1 Click here to view the unit INTERRELATION OF BIODIVERSITY, ECOLOGY, AND EVOLUTION Concepts: Biodiversity is the diversity of life in all its forms and at all levels of organization. It includes ecosystem diversity (among mature ecosystems and among successional stages within ecosystems), species diversity (among species), and genetic diversity (among individual organisms, populations, and subspecies, all within species). The amount of species diversity in an area is positively related to the amount of ecosystem diversity in an area. Species depend on properly functioning ecosystems, interactions with other species, and their internal genetic diversity for survival. Predator-prey relationships, fire, and fluctuations in population size can have important effects on species diversity. Conservation biology, the study of biodiversity and its maintenance, is young, rapidly growing, and highly multidisciplinary. It draws heavily from both basic and applied natural sciences, and from social sciences and humanities. The activity Bottleneck Genes is not included on the website.
