What kind of conservation strategies have been or should be implemented to the Hawaiian islands in order to avoid native bird populations declining or going extinct due to avian malaria?
Conservation status of specieschanges often as new threatsarise and current threatssubside. Fish and marine lifeare often threatened by humanactivities such as overfi shing,pollution of ocean and freshwater habitats, and climatechanges. When it comes tomaking choices about whatseafood to purchase andconsume, what resources areavailable to consumers to knowthat fi sh they are buying is notvulnerable or endangered?
Give two examples of the benefits gained by theintroduction of nonnative species. Give two examplesof the harmful effects of nonnative species that havebeen introduced deliberately and two examples of thesame for accidentally introduced species. Explain whyprevention is the best way to reduce threats frominvasive species and list four proposed ways to implement this strategy
Environmental scientists David Pimentel, Rodolfo Zuniga, and Doug Morrison of Cornell University reviewed scientific estimates for the economic and ecological costs imposed by introduced and invasive species in the United States. They found that, as of 2005, approximately 50,000 species had been introduced in the United States and that these accountedfor over $120 billion in economic costs each year. These costs include direct losses and damage, as well as costs required to control the species. (The researchers did not quantify monetary estimates for losses of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and aesthetics, which they said would drive total costs several times higher.) Calculate values missing from the table to determine the number of introduced species of each type of organism and the annual cost that each imposes on our economy. Of the 50,000 species introduced into the UnitedStates, half are plants. Describe two ways in whichnon-native plants might be brought to a new location.How…
The Barton Springs salamander is an endangered species found only inthree adjacent springs in the city of Austin, Texas. There is growingconcern that a chemical spill on a nearby freeway could pollute thespring and wipe out the species. To provide a source of salamanders torepopulate the spring in the event of such a catastrophe, a proposal hasbeen made to establish a captive breeding population of the salamanderin a local zoo. You are asked to provide a plan for the establishment ofthis captive breeding population, with the goal of maintaining as muchof the genetic variation of the species as possible. What factors mightcause loss of genetic variation in the establishment of the captivepopulation? How could loss of such variation be prevented? With theassumption that only a limited number of salamanders can bemaintained in captivity, what procedures should be instituted to ensurethe long-term maintenance of as much variation as possible?

Can anyone suggest any scholarly journals, articles, reports, whatever you could help out with that covers the following question (please provide links). What are considered other problematic species that can pose significant threats, possibly due to population declines from habitat loss or overexploitation? NOT on INVASIVE SPECIES, I have more than enough information on that subject.
