Sep 14, 2021

Scientists investigate the mechanism on how some invasive species, such as the green crab, had shown extensive dispersal in the last decade as they adapt across environmental gradients despite lacking genetic diversity.

Analysis of the Genomes of Five Living Rhinoceros Species Will Prevent Their Extinction

Aug 25, 2021

Most rhinoceros species went extinct before the Pleistocene era. Geneticists now try to reconstruct the three extinct species to fill in the gaps of the species' evolutionary family tree by analyzing their genomes and the genomes of five living rhino species.

All In The Family: Arranged Marriages And Genetic Diversity

May 14, 2015

A Massey University research team has discovered some interesting new truths about the ways arranged marriages affect genetic diversity and the ways that humans follow even important cultural rules selectively-and they may surprise you. The results show that the isolated Indonesian Rindi tribe produces genetic diversity similar to random mating by loosely complying with their rules which mandate arranged, inbred marriages.
