In the 20th century, animals such as mules and ligers that had parents of different species were considered biological flukes, but genetic sequencing is beginning to unravel the critical role of ...

Researchers led by Grueber analyzed genetic data from 628 species, revealing declines even in non-threatened populations.

A surprisingly trend was that we saw genetic diversity declining even among” many species that aren’t considered at risk, ...

Genetic diversity is declining globally. But conservation efforts offer hope to protect species - The climate crisis is ...

Researchers use CRISPR to overcome seemingly insurmontable reproductive barriers — but that doesn't mean this could work for ...

Ecologists at the School of Biological Sciences of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made valuable discoveries that could transform the conservation of two iconic cockatoo species: the Sulfur ...

Long before a species goes extinct, the population becomes smaller and more fragmented, shrinking the number of potential mates and therefore genetic mixing. This leaves a species more vulnerable ...
