Once-threatened koala populations in parts of Australia are showing surprising signs of genomic recovery, according to a ...
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.
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 ...
If you follow media coverage of koalas, you could be forgiven for feeling confused. Recent stories describe a “koala paradox” ...
A landmark finding that suggests koala genetic diversity not the only deciding factor in successful regrowth of populations.
Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.
Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.
