well sometimes the amount of money currently being spent on fighting poaching coudl achieve better results of it were used to combat the reasons behind the poaching.
No the poaching problem would not go away, but it could be reduced
an easier way would be to ask the poacher why they poach???
Most poachers are very poor, and only poach because they want things like food water and shelter, if these are provided then poaching can be reduced significantly.
The problem with elephant farms are that elephants have huge home ranges and eat lots of food, I cannot image that elephant farms would be feasible, but if they are I do not see this as a bad thing. It's no different than cow farms.
Evolution has no will, no path, no agenda, no nothing. It can't be forced, pressured, coerced, etc.
However by modifying the selective pressures we can have large influences on the directions of evolution. While humans did not create the tuskless phenotype we are contributing to its increase in abundance
But it takes time for fish to grow that large -- they aren't born that way. Surely they must have a chance to reproduce in their earlier years, before they grow to a more enticing size? This theory has a slight ring of truth to it, but I don't think it's cut and dry.
This is not always the case as fish come to sexual maturity at a certain age. In certain species there can be a large variation in the size of the fish as it enters sexual maturity. in these species the large fish will have a lower success rate in mating so the "large" genes will become less abundant in the population
well the anchor was half right. what happens over time is that elephants with no tusks are able to repoduce in high numbers (due to the lack of elephants with tusks) and they pass they tuskless genes in ever greater numbers to the next generation, thus increasing the amount of tuskless elephants.
It can be considered Darwinism, but we must look at poaching as a selective pressure on the population.
this does not make it acceptable as a chief concern amongst many biologists in the loss of biodiversity, which includes genetic diversity, and that is what is being lost here
I find seedless watermelon to not taste worse than the old fashion seedfull kind.
Also have u thought about how they "plant" new watermelon plants??? They do it by cloning them (very easy to do with some plants), which lowers their genetic diversity. Why is this bad???
Look at what is happening to banana plants. Bananas have been seedless for a long time, and new plants are just cloned from old plants overtime this has lowered the genetic diversity of the banana plants and now there is a pathogen that is spreading across many banana plantations and the plants have no natural resistance to this pathogen, that genotype was lost when they started cloning because it did not grow as fast and produce as many bananas as the genotype that was not resistant
This same phenomenon has been observed in lakes where extensive sport fishing takes place. Since either by regulations or due to the angler's behaviour the larger fish seem to have the most fishing pressure applied to them. Over time the abundance of large fish decline, and remain low even after many years where not fishing is permitted on the lake. What happens is those fish with the genetic disposition to grow very large have a much lower success rate when it comes to mating, and there fore the genes that allow fish to grow large become increasingly rare.
Have you looked at the success of elephant breeding programs in Zoos??? Most likely they are not very successful. Also do zoos around the world have a large enough population to ensure that inbreeding depression does not happen??? Again most likely not
The main problem with windows is u CANT easily run windows with a limited user account. So much software will not run at all, and some needs some seriouse tweeking that for most users the only option is running an admin account.
I dont know enough to know where to lay blame, only that there is a problem
Epson has been doing this for a long time, and so has canon.
Epson print heads are permanent, and cannot be removed while canon uses disposable print heads that are however separate from the ink cartridges
i have never had a problem handing in any papers on CD or by email, and infact some profs now ask for an electronic copy of the paper so they can submitit it to a plagerisim search engine
LOTR was a flop at the box office cause if movie pirates Like you and me. Now PJ will have to beg on the street for food. We should be ashamed of ourselves
what if there are no roads???
and in a city if all else fails just stop teh car at an intersection then look it up on a road map.
u do have a road map in teh car dont u?
yes those options are there, but they do not achive the same look, as what is done in the darkroom. Digital photography has coem along way, but in many aspects Digital canot produce the same images than tradtional photography. Digital images look digital, and film images look like film images. This is a diference and if you look closely u can see it
there are things you can do in a dark room that just cant be done in digital with a computer. Solerization(sp) is a great example where u light a match right as the image begins to apear on the paper in the developer, and can result in some very interesting prints.
Also have u tried freezing a wet film strip??? the ice does some neet things to teh emultion that can also make.
the darkroom is a fun place and i do not want it to die on me

While there is alot of money in poaching, the ones acctually killing the elephants are most of the time quite poor
agreed. mod him up!!! Poachers tend to be quite poor, and need money for stuff like food, water and shelter give them that and poaching will decrease

yes this is one regulation that has been used to mediate this problem, however the more complex regulations become the less likely to be followed.

Statistics can always say whatever your thesis needs em to say. Bah!
only if u use them improperly. Most of the time however they are use improperly and most people don't know enough stats to realize this

I wonder how usefull this stuff will be. most gov data ive worked with has almost no Meta Data, so what you can do with it is very limited
well that settles it, ime not driving to Japan.
what if there are no roads??? and in a city if all else fails just stop teh car at an intersection then look it up on a road map. u do have a road map in teh car dont u?
wow some one has way to much time on their hands. Bravo!!!

i really hope they are still made, i wanna get soem money (who doesent) and buy some used enlarger and set up a darkroom and home.
