Through the comparisons of European bison‚ American bison‚ and cattle‚ it became apparent that few polymorphic sites were present outside of the two highly variable regions (D-loop 15815-16306 bp‚ and D-loop positions 106-350). Strategies of conservation are being developed in the hopes of saving the bison population. An example of this would be restocking the population‚ but it would only be successful if restocked with the rare haplotypes of females versus one of the identified three. If a large

The SCS method (SCS National Engineering Handbook‚ 1972) of estimating direct runoff from storm rainfall is based on methods developed by SCS hydrologists in the last three decades‚ and it is in effect a consolidation of these earlier methods. The hydrologic principles of the method are not new‚ but they are put to new uses. Because most SCS work is with un-gauged watersheds (not gauged for runoff) the method was made to be usable with rainfall and watershed data that are ordinarily available
