Hyaenas Despite their low species density, hyaenas are both unique and vital components of most African and some Asian ecosystems. Although there are only 4 species, they tend to clash with the interests of humans to a greater extent than many other mammals and one of the biggest obstacles facing those committed to the conservation of this species is the negative feelings that many people have towards hyaenas. This Action Plan sets out to address some of the problems facing this species and, particularly the issue of public perception and awareness, and provides guidelines to rectify this situation. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=aO2gTeLBLZYC&pg=PA24&dq=wolf&hl=en&ei=za0eTKazGci2_Qatg7DGDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=wolf&f=falseGenetic Evidence for an East Asian Origin of Domestic Dogs http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2002Sci...298.1610S Access : Genome-wide SNP and haplotype analyses reveal a rich history underlying dog domestication : Nature Nature is the international weekly journal of science: a magazine style journal that publishes full-length research papers in all disciplines of science, as well as News and Views, reviews, news, features, commentaries, web focuses and more, covering all branches of science and how science impacts upon all aspects of society and life. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038%2Fnature08837Genetic Evidence for an East Asian Origin of Domestic Dogs http://dx.doi.org/10.1126%2Fscience.1073906 Conservation Genetics of the Endangered Isle Royale Gray Wolf - WAYNE - 2005 - Conservation Biology - Wiley Online Library http://dx.doi.org/10.1111%2Fj.1523-1739.1991.tb00386.x Multiple and Ancient Origins of the Domestic Dog

Guardian Wolf (Black Mesa Wolves) by J.K. HarperBook 1 in the Black Mesa Wolves series (novellas) Book 1 in the Black Mesa Wolves series (novellas) Wolves of the Calla (The Dark Tower, Book 5) by Stephen KingDonald M. Grant/ScribnerRoland Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing southeast through the forests of Mid-World, the almost timeless landscape that seems to stretch from the wreckage of civility that defined Roland's youth to the crimson chaos that seems the future's only promise. Readers of Stephen King's epic series know Roland well, or as well as this enigmatic hero can be known. They also know the companions who have been drawn to his quest for the Dark Tower: Eddie Dean and his wife, Susannah; Jake Chambers, the boy who has come twice through the doorway of death into Roland's world; and Oy, the Billy-Bumbler. In this long-awaited fifth novel in the saga, their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis, a tranquil valley community of farmers and ranchers on Mid-World's borderlands. Beyond the town, the rocky ground rises toward the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is slowly stealing the community's soul. One of the town's residents is Pere Callahan, a ruined priest who, like Susannah, Eddie, and Jake, passed through one of the portals that lead both into and out of Roland's world. As Father Callahan tells the ka-tet the astonishing story of what happened following his shamed departure from Maine in 1977, his connection to the Dark Tower becomes clear, as does the danger facing a single red rose in a vacant lot off Second Avenue in midtown Manhattan. For Calla Bryn Sturgis, danger gathers in the east like a storm cloud. The Wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to, and they can give the Calla-folken both courage and cunning. Their guns, however, will not be enough. |
