Conservation Science Webinar Series CSP3900
"The Science behind the News"
The National Conservation Training Center's Conservation Science Webinar Series is designed to provide the science behind the most pressing conservation issues in the news. We attempt to cut through the spin and rhetoric by gathering the most up-to-date scientific information from the experts and communicating it to our employees in the field. The webinar format allows us to stay current while minimizing employee travel, reducing costs and reducing our carbon footprint.
The views, opinions, or positions expressed in this webinar series are those of the guest presenter and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, positions of the US Fish and Wildlife Service or NCTC.

Dr. Jenny Ovenden, principal research scientist with the Queensland Government and adjunct associate professor

Description: The presence of hybridization was uncovered during a study of the population genetic structure of two species of sharks that are harvested commercially in tropical Australia. Dr. Ovenden will talk about how data collected from that project led to the discovery and likely implications for the persistence of the species in the short and long term.
