Furthermore, the loss of genetic diversity within a species can result in the loss of useful and desirable traits (e.g. resistance to parasites). Reduced diversity may eliminate options to use untapped resources for food production, industry and medicine.n contrast, the reduction and extinction of populations is far easier to see. Extinction is not only the loss of whole species, but is also preceded by a loss of genetic diversity within the species. This loss reduces the species ability to perform its inherent role in the whole ecosystem.

Homer Township mulling solar farm. Homer Township officials are looking into whether a solar farm might be a good option for the township's Paul Farm property. Recently, the township received an unsolicited proposal from Cypress Creek Renewables to potentially develop a solar farm on the 56-acre farm on 151st Street between Gougar and Farrell roads. Township Supervisor Pam Meyers said the township's Open Space Planning Committee has began looking into the idea, and the township is in the early stages of finding out if it's a viable option for the land.
