Course content
Natural as well as man-made causes of losses of genetic pool. Influences on molecular and genetic level, genetic drift, inbreeding, outbreeding, bottleneck and other effects. Influences on the population level. Range and structure of population as an aspect of the risk of the extinction. Crop and direct liquidation of the species and their habitats, undirected reasons of the genetic looses. Lack of food and competition. Hunting influences caused by hunting, limits and management of the hunting. Forms of evidence of endangered species, red data lists. Methods of the genetic pool conservation "in situ" (habitat conservation, energetic subsidy of the populations, supervision, selection, release, transfers) and "ex situ" (rescue breeding and release to wildlife).Management plans and action plans for endangered species in Czech Republic. Species conservation in Czech and European legislation, Natura 2000, CITES, veterinary law.
