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 ...

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 ...

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.
