A new study published in Science is challenging long-held assumptions about how we measure genetic risk in endangered species ...

Koala populations with low genetic diversity are actually recovering by "reshuffling" their genes to remove harmful mutations ...

A new study reveals that habitat fragmentation can lead to sudden "tipping points" where a species' genetic health ...

Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.

If you follow media coverage of koalas, you could be forgiven for feeling confused. Recent stories describe a “koala paradox”: endangered in the north of Australia, abundant in the south; genetically ...

Dimapur: Researchers at Nagaland University have conducted a study on the genetic diversity of Musa sikkimensis, a wild banana species native to the E.

Conservationists saved the fuzzy creatures in Victoria, Australia. Now, the animals are showing remarkable signs of genetic recovery ...

Baobabs are among the most iconic trees on Earth. They store water in their bottle-shaped trunks during the raining season. This allows them to survive long periods of drought. Many baobab species are ...

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

Herring from different parts of the Baltic Sea belong to distinct populations genetically adapted to local differences in salinity and temperature. However, these populations can also mix with each ...
