Assessment Instructions -

Annotations - The following is a list of questions to be answered for each reference.

1. Which perspective(s) and stakeholder(s) do the author(s) represent? You may have to research the author(s) or organization to answer this question.

2. Explain how you found the source. Is it an open-access source or is it limited by licensing/payment?

3. How is the information packaged? Is it a website, scientific article, a secondary article, blog, etc.?

4. Describe the credibility of the source, including how the source was found and the authority of the source.

5. Explain how this source will be useful for your final project, which is evaluating the species' candidacy for de-extinction.

6. Describe how the source compares to the other sources that are in this annotated bibliography. Consider how the source confirms, conflicts with, or offers a new perspective on the information.

For each annotation, answer questions 1-3 in one sentence each, and answer questions 4-6 in two to four sentences. Minimize grammatical errors so that they do not distract the reader. Use the "Assessment 2 Worksheet" to answer the questions.

Source Information - Select sources that are specific to your species and potential habitat and not the general topic of de-extinction. The following types of information will be helpful for your course project.

The threats that led to the species' current conservation status.

The stakeholders that have been (or will be) impacted by its extinction and by its reintroduction.

The ecology of the species (for example, its distribution, preferred habitat, diet, reproduction, body size, etc.).

The ecology of the preferred habitat (where would the species be reintroduced to and what is that habitat like- climate, biome, organisms currently present); after researching where it was found or can survive, it might be helpful to look up a suitable national park or other protected area.

The evolutionary history (for example, its phylogenetic history, closest living relatives, where these species are found and their conservation status; body size and reproduction of closest relatives).
