Population genetics explores the distribution and change in frequency of alleles within and between populations, while genetic diversity underpins the capacity of species to adapt to environmental ...

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 ...

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

According to a new genomic study of Australia’s koala populations, rapid demographic rebound may be able to restore once-lost genetic variation and drive recombination in ways that re-establish ...

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 ...

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

It's long been assumed that koalas in southern Australia are genetically unhealthy. A new study finds they're actually recovering, changing how scientists look at genetic risks.

Much of the controversy about the forensic use of DNA has involved population genetics. In this chapter, we first explain the principles that are generally applicable. We then consider the special ...

A research team led by scientists at the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, Brazil, has completed the most extensive genetic ...

Guwahati, Feb 21: Wildlife Genetics Laboratory (WGL) of Aaranyak, a Govt. of Assam Notified Laboratory for wildlife genetics & forensics under Section 329 (4) of the BNSS, 2023, is organising an 8- ...
