2 years ago I saved 300 square ft of moss from a forest before it was logged, and moved it into the adjacent creekside ravine where the moss is still alive. #moss #forests #geneticrescue #restoration #ecology #ecoart #conceptualart

1/8 👉ANIMAL POO MAY SAVE ENDANGERED SPECIES👈

Scientists pursue an innovative approach to wildlife conservation dubbed "the poo zoo"—using fresh animal dung to collect living cells that could ultimately help save endangered species from extinction.

Long-term effects of #outbreeding: eliminates malformations & improves hatching success https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006320720307680 #GeneticRescue

Can genetic rescue be a useful tool to aid endangered species? Researchers from @UCBerkeley, @NOAA and California Sea Grant have seen encouraging results with coho salmon: https://bit.ly/3AK12bh

Scientists hatched chicks from 3D‑printed eggs, testing tech to revive the extinct moa. A breakthrough for de‑extinction, combining ancient DNA with modern bioengineering.

Timely study challenging common perceptions of genetic rescue as the Holy Grail. Whole-genome sequencing of endangered butterfly & predictor collinearity eco-niche modeling suggest it would be deleterious for this sp. Of course, depends upon assumptions used in the modeling. #geneticrescue

What is AGF? It’s the managed movement of individuals or sex cells between coral populations to boost traits like heat tolerance. Think of it as survival matchmaking. Dr. Andrew Baker (@miamirosenstiel.bsky.social) has been a leader in this work for decades.

Innovative solutions like mRNA tardigrade proteins are key to protecting samples from radiation. 🌍🌕
