An approach to the optimal allocation of conservation funds to minimize loss of genetic diversity between livestock breeds (2003, background): “Ruane (2000) collected information on a set of criteria for different breeds which are considered as ‘candidates’ for a conservation scheme, but the lack of a sufficient conceptual framework led him to suggest defining conservation priorities primarily based on the degree of endangerment.”
Effects of War and Civil Strife on Wildlife and Wildlife Habitats (2002, background): “The traditional livestock breeds and varieties that constitute our most critical reservoirs of genetic diversity for domesticated animal species are also highly susceptible to decimation or extinction from even highly localized disease outbreaks (Ruane 2000; Toro et al. 2000).”
Weitzman's Approach and Conservation of Breed Diversity: an Application to African Cattle Breeds (2003, background): “In addition to the endangerment of a breed, non( functional ) genetic criteria for conservation, such as traits of current or future value (e.g., trypanotolerance) or a special landscape value as suggested by Ruane (2000), should be integrated into the approach.”
Sheep resources of Ethiopia : genetic diversity and breeding strategy (2008, background): “The primary objective of livestock conservation for developing countries is conservation for sustainable use (Simon, 1999; Ruane, 2000).”
Payments for agrobiodiversity conservation services for sustained on-farm utilization of plant and animal genetic resources (2011, background): “These include the level of endangerment based on different risk factors, and dissimilarity among crop varieties and livestock breeds based on agro-morphological characteristics or genetic traits (Ruane, 2000).”
Genetic diversity in farm animals--a review. (2010, background): “It is widely accepted that detailed molecular data on within- and between-breed diversity are essential for effective management of FAnGR (e.g. Weitzman 1993; Hall & Bradley 1995; Barker 1999; Ruane 2000; Bruford et al. 2003; Simianer 2005; Toro & Caballero 2005; Toro et al. 2008).”
