  1. Slide 2 – map and table from exercise showing species distribution and population sizes (also slides 9-10).
  2. Slides 3 to 5 – photos of specific L. salvadorensis populations – they illustrate the lack of forest in the landscape and the maintenance of trees on farms by farmers. The Nueva Esparta population consists of only 16 trees found on one farmer’s land. Of these, three are old trees, the rest much younger suggesting much lower effective population size.

  5. Slides 6 to 7 – show how self-incompatibility leads to low pod production in L. salvadorensis , compared to the self-compatible L. leucocephala and consequent weediness issues for the latter.
  6. Slides 6 to 7 – show how self-incompatibility leads to low pod production in L. salvadorensis , compared to the self-compatible L. leucocephala and consequent weediness issues for the latter.
  7. Slide 8 – shows the genetic basis for the self-incompatibility (SI) mechanism in L. salvadorensis. The teacher can explain that the system (gametophytic SI) depends on SI alleles. Large numbers of SI alleles are present in most populations, so most crosses are compatible and produce seed (NB: this is optional depending on whether the class is capable of dealing with this level of complexity ).  
  8. Slide 9 – covers alternative objectives for conservation – the teacher must stress the need for students to first define an objective for their strategy. It is very common for students to not define a strategy or to forget to explain what it is. Without this, it is impossible to judge the efficacy of a conservation strategy. Objectives should be pertinent and realistic and avoid the ‘‘operation was a success, but the patient died” syndrome i.e. we carried out all activities successfully, but it did nothing to help.
  9. Slides 10 to 11 – cover the issue of population size. Relate these to the population sizes in Table 1(Case Study) and how overlapping generations mean that the effective population sizes of these remnants will be lower than the census number.
  10. Slides 10 to 11 – cover the issue of population size. Relate these to the population sizes in Table 1(Case Study) and how overlapping generations mean that the effective population sizes of these remnants will be lower than the census number.
  11. Slides 12 to 15 – summarise different approaches to conservation and associated problems. The emphasis should be on their complementary nature, rather than either/or . The emphasis will, however, shift depending on the characteristics of the species and the population of concern.

  15. Slides 16 to 18 – introduce the idea and debate around whether trees found in agricultural landscapes may be important for conservation of some species (sometimes known as circa situm conservation) and the negative view that they are not (for more detail see introduction to Unit 2: Trees Outside of Forests).
  16.

  18. Slides 19 to 20 – allow the teacher to present the concept of common/rare and widespread/localized alleles (see Box 1 below).
  19. Slides 19 to 20 – allow the teacher to present the concept of common/rare and widespread/localized alleles
  20. Slide 21 – allows the teacher to explain what the dendrogram in the exercise shows: i.e. which populations are more closely related genetically to each other. You can point to the idea that this can help in prioritising which populations to conserve.
  21. Slide 22 – allows the teacher to explain the significance of Table 4 and Figure 3 for the exercise i.e. the geographic distances between each of the populations, how small they are in most cases and that the overall distribution only covers 160 km. Figure 4 uses the data from Table 3 and shows that gene flow decreases with distance between the populations. The concept of one migrant per generation (Nm>1) being sufficient to prevent population differentiation can be introduced and used to help decide conservation priorities.
  22. Slides 23 to 24 – allow the teacher to go over what the students should do in the exercise. The teacher should stress: a) the need to be specific in what the strategy includes – students tend to be too general in their recommendations; b) the need to prioritise – students tend to recommend doing everything, failing to recognise that resources for actions are extremely limited; c) they should indicate what information/evidence they have used to justify each recommended action; d) they need to present a convincing case that would sway a donor/government to give them funds and/or enact policy/legislation to conserve the species.
