The racial and ethnic groups people identify with may not accurately represent their genetic backgrounds or ancestries, a new study of people in the United States suggests. This discrepancy between ...

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 ...

The demographic crisis in several European countries is becoming increasingly complex as birth rates continue to decline and populations age more rapidly. At the same time, dependency ratios are ...

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 ...

Venus’ surface has long been hidden beneath thick clouds and sparse data, but new research is beginning to illuminate what ...

Intact ecosystems have the capacity for self-regulation, which keeps their complex structure of species—such as animals, ...

Scientists have discovered a potential path out of devastating genetic bottlenecks that could help these Australian animals, ...

As koalas in southern Australia have grown from a few hundred to almost half a million, the marsupials show signs of regaining lost genetic variation.

Once-threatened koala populations in parts of Australia are showing surprising signs of genomic recovery, according to a ...

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

A landmark finding that suggests koala genetic diversity not the only deciding factor in successful regrowth of populations.
