A new study published in Science is challenging long-held assumptions about how we measure genetic risk in endangered species. Researchers analyzed whole genomes from hundreds of koalas, finding that ...
Koalas suffered a massive population decline that left them with dangerously low genetic diversity. However, new genomic research suggests their rapid rebound may be helping reverse some of that ...
Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength ...
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 ...
A new study reveals that habitat fragmentation can lead to sudden "tipping points" where a species' genetic health ...
The findings highlight its strong climate adaptability, disease resistance, and value for crop improvement, stressing urgent ...
PHILADELPHIA— The majority of genetic studies focus on people of European descent, which limits the understanding of how genes influence health in other populations. Researchers at the Perelman School ...
GUWAHATI, March 3: Nagaland University researchers have conducted an extensive study on the genetic diversity of Musa sikkimensis, a wild banana species native to the Eastern Himalayas and Northeast ...
