The established conservation practice of relocating animals from large, genetically diverse populations to small communities of inbred endangered species may risk introducing more damaging than ...

Research co-authored by an Oklahoma Museum of Natural History curator, her graduate student and an international team of ...

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.

In the muddy, ever-shifting waters of northern South America, scientists have uncovered a new species of freshwater stingray ...

Genetic diversity and species interactions are intertwined drivers of ecological complexity and stability. Genetic variation within populations underpins adaptive potential, allowing species to ...

Polluted rivers are disrupting swordtail fish mate choice, causing two species to hybridize and highlighting a hidden threat ...

Population genetics and biogeography in marine species interrogate how genetic variation is distributed across space and time in the world’s oceans. By examining gene flow, genetic structure and ...

Species known as marine habitat-forming species -- gorgonians, corals, algae, seaweeds, marine phanerogams, etc.-- are organisms that help generate and structure the underwater landscapes. These are ...

Genetic elements called Mavericks that have some viral features could be responsible for the large-scale smuggling of DNA between species. Biologists have understood the broad contours of the rules of ...

Jean-François Gout and Megan Smith each earned five-year NSF CAREER awards, from the highly competitive program that supports early-career faculty demonstrating exceptional potential to advance ...
