Isolated Tiger Snake Populations More Prone to Inbreeding Due to Urbanization; May Lose Ability to Adapt

11.01.2021 22:01 PM

Curtin University researchers found that Perth tiger snake populations were more geographically isolated and lacks genetic diversity that could result in them losing the ability to adapt to ever-changing environments.

Seagrass Genetic Diversity Increases In Areas Physically Disturbed By Sea Otters

10.18.2021 03:52 AM

A new study has learned that seagrass, in particular, eelgrass, increases its genetic diversity by one-third in areas where there are sea otters.

European Green Crab Showed Extensive Dispersal Despite High Gene Flow, Low Genetic Diversity

09.14.2021 21:30 PM

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.

Rhinoceros Going Extinct? Genome Analysis of Five Living Rhino Species May Help Save Them

08.25.2021 01:45 AM

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.

Critically-Endangered Tree Produces Flower; Report Says It's a Never-Before-Recorded Occurrence

05.28.2021 08:29 AM

A critically endangered tree in a Missouri greenhouse was recently reported to have produced a flower that had never been documented before, in the field of science.

All In The Family: Arranged Marriages And Genetic Diversity

05.14.2015 13:40 PM

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.
