Preserving Genetic Diversity

 [Image from >>> http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A2KJke5fE5BNKEMAOyujzbkF/SIG=11lmaq5bc/EXP=1301316575/**http%3a//www.tuitionassignment.org/]

I got an assignment requiring us to evaluate either ex-situ conservation possible to provide enough amount of genetic diversity of species before introduce back into its nature. Well the typical answer is either yes or no... but since this in like an opinion based answer + this is ecology biology, the only relevant answer  I could think is depends on the target species.

When talking about conservation in ex-situ, and to preserve genetic diversity. there are several answer that you need to find, such as could it? what is the effective population size? how many the diversity in organism itself? do we have the efficient method? how big the space required? enough cost?

I think I have make your self dizzy with all the questions. Endangered organism do need special attention from us, their habitat loss are due to over Homo sapiens domination of nature resources without thinking the relevance and consequences. Therefore, the intervention of human in this matter is really crucial because they cant survive in their natural condition not due to natural selection but due to our own act. If you ask me "so, ex-situ important?", I would say "Yes", but with other question, "would it be successful when we reintroduce back?"

There are several studies indicate that, ex-situ conservation cause the loss of trait due to adaptation organism evolved through several generation when breed captivity. In nature, natural selection may work on organism by eliminating bad trait or in other mean organism with unfavorable gen. but in captivity, those selection is barely work, because lost of fear to human, cared, given special attention and others. For hatcheries with focus to fish, there are little success in introduction, most of the reintroduction of fish population in the hatchery into its wild environment face failure. While zoo, with focus to rhinoceros and elephants; they (refer to female) might suffer aging in reproduction (just like if you wont married, your reproductive system became dis-functional), and that what happen to most of animal in the zoo. Their behavior for interest for reproduction got disturbed with unsuitable environment (Hello, give little privacy, we trying to mate LOL) and some required special condition or requirements, birds especially like stork bald bird aka local name burung botak upih (Scientific name = Mycteria cinerea) which I have saw one at Kuala Gula, Perak that requires special elevation for nesting and breed (hey no one bother to make cage like tower T_T). There are also report that only some female that actually produce offspring which give us information that female that lost their interest to breed, their genetic wont be pass down into her offspring. Well so did the diversity continue? Furthermore, zoo cannot maintain large population size for effective breeding and genetic flow, and what we afraid is that we actually using inappropriate method and population for ex-situ conservation. Inappropriate population mean that we actually conserve population with less genetic diversity. Oh, before I forgot, some study also found that that rare allele might only be found in population in nature and not in captivity. What does that mean, you answer yourself LOL.

But still in-situ are favorable because nature take care it all. But that wont make ex-situ totally bad because some species do success in ex-situ and survive when reintroduced back.

But there are difference between animal and plant. Because plant have special stage which one of it is seed which enable them to be maintained for such long period of time, so little problem with ex-situ.

Ok, I think I stop by here, others just ask me or you figure by yourself through reading...

P/S: have a nice assignments time...!

I never forgive, I never forget, by I do accept,

I'm sorry for everything happen. Part of those mistake from your side as well mine. I do not like to say "because human always made mistake", it just sound very childish. I'm sorry if I being very sensitive and at the same time insensitive to your feeling. But that is me.. Miss communication and long kept hatred worsen it all.

For now, let the past by pass. Acting as it never happen, gonna help a lot.
I never forgive and never forget, but if you and I, let it just pass by. And the memory blurred... consider it forgiven.

Do not worry about others perspective. They are my friends and also your friends. You might got place to cry on, but mine is them. The haze will clear, because my feeling and them work as one, because when I accept, they also would.

This should be a good lesson for both side. Taking people for granted never rewarding us.

I'm here to make friends. Being remembered and remembering, the feeling just much more worthy than a paper of the degree I got. Paper only show, but it never comfort you in time of difficulties.

Giving second chance never in my options. But for the sake of a new beginning, perhaps its worth something to try.

We hurt, we bleed, we feel. Never treat people as you think they might recover fast. Because there are always scar that remembering everything. People won't be same, that made us special, and that made us fragile, but when those colour of life combined, they actually works as one.

Boys.. girls... that just gender. Feeling and emotion just the same stuff. Either its hard as steel, calm as water, elastic as plastic or fragile as glass.You choose, what you wanna be... mine is glass.

The past is a past, but the scars remain - let time heals them. So it would be forgotten.

There are much to do, with less time to think - let us choose the better way and hope it the correct way.

My feeling still hurts but its getting well. Good luck to you and to me. This might be how god want us to learn, but somehow in a bitter way - and I hope we taste the bitterness as part of life.

-Sun do shine, Moon do glow-

I just love my friend too much! pity people without friends

Firstly, no pictures. because, they not being uploaded yet.... hahahaha

Today a blast, totally a blast. All my misery gone. Meeting close friends, people that know you, accepting you. The feeling is undeniable. They are so supportive and open-minded.

Today, I bring some new "jewels" for my friends to know, they are my new friends at UKM. to be specific (Farhan and Fait). Well, they kinda very shy (unspeakable) hahahaha. I have a principle, my friends are my friends friend. WHY? I love to share good things with my friends because sharing is the way I show my respect and how important them (my friends) to me. But I dunno how long can we be friends because not all friends actually share the same mean (desire) as you and still I have high expectation on them. I just love my friends Nadea and Kucai (I dunno the real name, but whatever), such a sweet couple, an example of a good maintenance and balance between friends and BF-GF relationship (wish them happily ever after). Zatil, yes Zatil, a girl with some potent resonance with unlimited possibility. I'm glad I keep her close, and David Chang too, can't imagine how a word from Zatil can actually calm me (a breeze to my headache). Syikin... haiz, always lost today, but I'm glad I tag you with GPS stuff ahhahahahaa... (kinda crazy like me, but never mean as me haha)... Pcah, luckily meet her! such a long time. While, Badri, my bank of secrets, not even a word of secret pass through that LIPS, a person that never be forgotten, never. Well, that just some people, they are lot of people actually, and I didn't need to mention all of them. To those that have a though to snatch them from me... haha you can try, yes you can, but be remember, I accept them as my friends not because they accept me as my friends, I'm a loyal type person, I gain them (my friends) as a friends because I trust them, I allow my self to be used by them as they allow they being used by me. I willing to make sacrifice for them, something that some people just will to do for people that they call honey and darling (ewwww). Because they worth it. I'm nothing without them. To Syma, sis you develop my potential, I will remember you always.

In this world, its not my interest to compete with anybody. It just my feeling to do my best and share that feeling with people close to you. I'm a laser type person, with my word and writing sharp as blade. I feel sorry if people bleed too much because you not my BFF obviously, that a prove you never know me and never accept me as I am.

Today also, I watched the Merong Mahawangsa movie: well I dunno how to describe it literally, but a review is a review.... hmm hmmm.... k let me put it this way, awesome with all that boom and bang in the plot... (I dunno how to describe the movie, its like you lough + cry + shock at the same time!)... I and Badri personally disturbing other people with our laughter, <"mengintai di bawah tudung saji>.. gosh if you know what it mean... haha... 


I want to grade as master student happily, with my friends on my back, I dun care best student award which I never dream about. I just want to take a scroll of master and a ton of happy memories...

I felt betrayed

I just notice, something about me, and people taking my word lightly. It just like you are insignificant to them. I always think about them, wanna them success. But in the end, word just a word. What your feeling when you ask some one to be in a group for an event, and after 12 hours, you ask for full name, this you got "sry Akmal, I with my friend group, I dunno anything about this and my friends just tell me"... WTF? you taking my word lightly isn't it. So now I'm going to play by your rule. I'm sharing NOTHING.

The other thing is when you said "ok, I'm going to be there after I go here and there"... whatever, I wait. Did you know, I wait you about 6 hours! Not even a short damn SMS? What you think I am? I trust your word, every one of it.... and now, I'm taking back that trust.

Do not take people lightly, you don't know what hope they put on every word you said. I trust this people too much, I think. Maybe this is the time to end.

I call Badri just now, well I need someone to talk about. This really frustrating and irritating.

You Such A PIG

When I see you, I hate you,

When I hate you, I ignore you,

Did you notice that?

No, you don't!

Because you are just a simply minded or lack of sensitiveness,

You dunno people angry with you?

Use your head! PIG!

*sry PIG I keep using your name... not your fault, it just easier to use PIG than his name.... TQ PIG

SHE worthless

a woman is a woman, never a man, never be a man, even she tried to be a man,

This a story regarding a woman that tried to be a man. Bisexual and homosexual, neither I care. For me its always as "Accept me as I am and you shall be accepted" + "Dun disturb me, and you won't be disturbed".

Its common that she can change the personalities in a period, but still the fragile heart remain. And that why, you can lie who you are, but you can't lie who you actually are.

I no longer like you, that a fact. For me you are a narrow-minded person, when obsession conquering logic. Narrow-mind is my enemy, because there are no space for people like me inside, when you always true and others are wrong. I know that not your principle, because its your blind loyalty. The eyes that worth nothing.

People are build with ego, no one can deny that. But the most stupid ego is to close your mind from learning and knowing - The point where you collapse.

I wont blame you, because that you, you are insignificant and yet you are my friend. Time will teach you, and you will learn, as you said "learning by experience is matter than learning in orthodoxy method".

As I write this, my feeling for you dissipate, I feel sad as I though all this time you are an open-minded person with all you have gone through, and now I realize it just an empty shell. You can be what you want to be or what you believe, as neither of that will affect me because I know you go no where.

You are You and Me is Me - obsession killing your sense
