18、ir population was reduced to a small area along the Gulf coast due to habitat loss and hunting.To conserve the species，14 individuals were caught as part of a reproducing(繁殖)program.In 1980 their wild relatives were declared extinctthe caught wolves were all that was left and thus lots of genetic va
19、riation was lost.You cant help it when you have so few founders.Kristin Brzeski is an assistant professor at Michigan Technological University, whose research focuses on the conservation of genetics of wild animal populations.He thought this work had been an underdog scientifically and for conservat
20、ion, for all wolves decreased in amount dramatically,especially the red wolves. Now,Brzeski and her co-workers have found a surprising new pool of red wolf genes that might help bring more diversity to the tiny population:they found the disappearing genes of red wolves in wild coyote(土狼)populations.
21、But why did this happen?Remember：when a population is dying out，it might find the closest related species as their own best mate，so a red wolf and a coyote can have offspring(后代).As a result，people can rediscover their genes in their coyote hybrid offspring.As red wolves are released back into the w
22、ild, reproducing with these coyotes could help the critically endangered species regain some of its genetic diversity.This would be kind of the opposite direction: take the existing small population that still has red wolf genes that are so critical, and put them into a wild landscape with new genet
23、ic variation that they havent seen for 50 years or more. And all of a sudden , hopefully, this is like a super mix of genetic health and sort of a rebound that these animals can be wild and be themselves again.The next step will include how to release red wolves in a way that takes advantage of the

26、wolvesan endangered speciesCWild coyotesred wolves perfect matchDAn unknown future to protect red wolvesAmong the constant adjustive education standards and requirements, its important to ask a question: exactly what do we want in a high school graduate?Some people think the goal is to enter college
27、 and earn a bachelors degree. Others find that interpretation too narrow,preferring that young people leave school with the skills to move into living-wage jobs.But one thing many people can embrace is that high school graduates are skilled in basic math and English.A proposed law,House Bill 1308,co
28、uld ruin that goal. Students must do the following things to get a diploma: earn 24 credits of coursework; complete a High School and Beyond Plan matching those courses; meet one requirement of a series of“graduation pathways”. The problem is that these pathways dont work for all kids.In large part,
29、thats because they guide students toward college standards. Last year, after surveying nearly 1,000 students,researchers discovered that 18% of students said they were “not good”at math, and 33% said they were poor test-takers.For them,the current pathways are a barrier because of their emphasis on
30、these skills.The new pathway is instead focused on performance. It would allow kids to create a presentationsay an exhibit or reportdemonstrating mastery of two core subjects, but not necessarily math or English. When the bill came up for discussion, over 350 people showed their support, because its
31、 possible that through the performance pathway, a student could create a project emphasizing mastery in“fine arts”and“health and fitness”. Rep. Sharon favors the proposal. In a hearing, she spoke of her granddaughter, who wrote and self-published a novel while still in school, to illustrate the kind
32、 of project is workable.While Tafona Ervin worries that the lack of emphasis on math and English could lead students to graduate without solid skills.If the purpose of education is to ensure that young people are prepared to pursue a fulfilling life,finishing school uncertain of ones abilities in ma
