Species Reclamation Via a Non-linear Genetic Timeline: An Attempted Hymenochirus curtipes Model Induced by Controlled Breeding
Brandon Ballengèe (US)
This project involved the selective breeding of frogs from the Hymenochirus family, located in the Congo. There, biodiversity is threatened by forest clearing and increased demand for wood. Also, political turmoil in Congo has limited biological studies and conservation efforts. In their native habitat, wild Hymenochirus populations may currently be in decline or have become extinct.
