Conservation of Energy: Application01:12

Conservation of Energy: Application

8.1K
When solving problems using the energy conservation law, the object (system) to be studied should first be identified. Often, in applications of energy conservation, we study more than one body at the same time. Second, identify all forces acting on the object and determine whether each force doing work is conservative. If a non-conservative force (e.g., friction) is doing work, then mechanical energy is not conserved. The system must then be analyzed with non-conservative work. Third, for...

Conservation of Angular Momentum: Application01:18

Conservation of Angular Momentum: Application

12.3K
A system's total angular momentum remains constant if the net external torque acting on the system is zero. Examples of such systems include a freely spinning bicycle tire that slows over time due to torque arising from friction, or the slowing of Earth's rotation over millions of years due to frictional forces exerted on tidal deformations. However in the absence of a net external torque, the angular momentum remains conserved. The conservation of angular momentum principle requires a...

Conserved Binding Sites

5.1K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

What is Conservation Biology?

24.0K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Conservation of Small Populations02:04

Conservation of Small Populations

16.7K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

Area of Science:

  • Marine Biology
  • Conservation Genetics
  • Molecular Identification

Background:

  • Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, rays, chimeras) are apex predators facing severe depletion due to high demand.
  • Accurate species identification is essential for effective conservation and management of vulnerable elasmobranch populations.
  • Character-based identification using genetic markers offers a precise method for species classification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rapid and accurate method for identifying 82 elasmobranch species found in Indian waters.
  • To design species-specific DNA probes for elasmobranch identification using mitochondrial CO1 gene sequences.
  • To facilitate conservation efforts and forensic applications for elasmobranchs.

Main Methods:

  • Downloaded and analyzed 20-30 mitochondrial CO1 gene sequences for each of the 82 target elasmobranch species.
  • Utilized BLOG2.0 software to identify species-specific diagnostic nucleotide sites within the CO1 sequences.
  • Designed species-specific DNA probes (23-30 bp) based on the identified diagnostic nucleotide markers.

Main Results:

  • Successfully identified species-specific diagnostic nucleotides for the targeted elasmobranch species.
  • Developed a set of species-specific DNA probes suitable for use in customized microarrays (DNA chips).
  • Demonstrated the potential of this method for quick, convenient, and accurate species identification.

Conclusions:

  • The developed DNA probes provide a powerful tool for the precise identification of elasmobranch species in Indian waters.
  • This molecular approach can significantly aid in the conservation and management of declining elasmobranch populations.
  • The technique is applicable for forensic investigations and ecological studies involving elasmobranchs.
