By Kristine Sabillo Genetic diversity within many species is declining globally, according to a recently published study.

The findings underscore the importance of understanding the history of a species as well as its current genetic structure in order to fully understand its diversity. And they show that a better ...

A new study published in Nature Microbiology has uncovered significant genetic and antigenic diversity among H9N2 avian ...

Researchers from 24 countries have analyzed the genomes of 809 individuals from 233 primate species, generating the most complete catalog of genomic information about our closest relatives to date.

The research found that birds are the most affected by genetic diversity loss, followed by mammals, with two-thirds of the examined species impacted. This decline is often due to habitat ...

The study saw researchers analyse the entire genetic code of 106 red squirrels from across Scotland and Formby in north-west England. They found the species had lower levels of genetic diversity t ...

Birds that migrate long distances to tropical regions show greater genetic diversity than those staying nearby.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
