While genetic diversity, the unique differences that determine the color of hair and the shape of a finch’s beak, is being lost across the world amid the world’s ongoing species extinction ...

But the path to extinction erodes genetic diversity, because a species’ gene pool shrinks as the population declines. Losing genetic diversity limits the ability of populations to adapt to threats ...

The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic diversity and its impact on health and fertility. It continues 25 years of research at deCODE genetics into how new diversity is ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two-thirds of animal and plant populations are declining in genetic diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to environmental changes, according to research published Wednesday.

A recent study on the anatomy of the inner ear of Neanderthals and their ancestors has cast doubt on the widely accepted ...

WASHINGTON — Two-thirds of animal and plant populations are declining in genetic diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to environmental changes, according to research published Wednesday.

The research team identified various mechanisms that may contribute to the genetic diversity of the chromosome sets, potentially enabling the long-term persistence of the mite. Like humans ...
