Segnaliamo un nuovo Webinar della serie “Native Prairie Speaker” dal titolo “The genetic legacy of the 1880s near extinction of Bison”, in programma il 23 settembre 2025 alle ore 20.00 al link allegato.
The last 200 years of Bison history is a truly epic story. Bison narrowly missed going extinct in the 1880’s which would have been an unspeakable loss. Thankfully a diverse group of ranchers, First Nations, Government and NGOs were able to save bison from extinction. The recovery of the bison population has been one of the greatest success stories in conservation. However, modern bison retain a legacy from the near extinction event. Merek will speak about genetic diversity in Bison, the situation with the Woods and Plains subspecies, as well as the story of cattle introgression in Bison.
