A large-scale genomic study of koalas across eastern Australia has found that populations that went through severe 20th-century bottlenecks are already showing signs of genetic recovery, challenging ...

Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.

As koalas in southern Australia have grown from a few hundred to almost half a million, the marsupials show signs of regaining lost genetic variation.

AUSTRALIA, March 8: Recent research on koalas challenges conventional assumptions about genetic health and extinction risk. Koala populations across Australia show a complex picture: northern ...
