For centuries, Polynesian navigators crossed thousands of miles of open ocean, using their knowledge of stars, currents, ...

Understanding changes in North American bat populations is critical to measuring the risk of extinction from emerging threats ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed and validated the first analytical framework for estimating genetic ...

Phenotypic variation and genetic diversity are fundamental to the resilience and adaptability of plant populations. Phenotypic variation encompasses observable differences in morphology, physiology ...

Wild cranberries across North America carry two distinct genetic toolkits shaped by Ice Age climate shifts—and modern ...

Genetic variation within Drosophila populations underpins our understanding of how organisms adapt to changing environments. As a premier model, Drosophila offers finely resolved genomic tools and ...

The fossil and genetic evidence agree that modern humans originated in Africa. The most genetically diverse human populations—the groups that have had the longest time to pick up novel mutations—live ...

A new Yale-led study provides one of the most detailed and comprehensive analyses to date of genetic variation in human populations in Oceania, filling a major gap in representation in genomics ...

In the late 1930s, a small group of guanacos, native South American camelids, was shipped from southern Patagonia to Staats ...

A new study of pedigree and blood-marker data shows that Lithuania's declining Trakehner horse population has maintained ...
