A potted scarlet monkeyflower would die within a few days without water. But multiple natural populations of the species ...

A large-scale genomic study of koalas across eastern Australia has found that populations that went through severe ...

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 ...

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 ...

Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time the process has been observed in the wild.

A research team led by scientists at the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, Brazil, has completed the most extensive genetic sequencing of a jararaca viper to date. The focus of the study was the genome ...

Genetics helped scarlet monkeyflower rebound after California’s megadrought — a real‑world example of rapid evolution.

Part One. The basics of population genetics -- Part Two. Complex genetic systems -- Part Three. Special topics in evolution -- Part Four. Evolutionary ecology of single populations -- Part Five.

According to a new genomic study of Australia’s koala populations, rapid demographic rebound may be able to restore once-lost genetic variation and drive recombination in ways that re-establish ...

Understanding biological relationships is often critical when studying animal populations. Researchers have now developed a transformative approach that identifies stretches of DNA that two ...

Professor Graham Coop, Department of Evolution and Ecology and Director of the Center for Population Biology, has been elected as a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his work on ...
