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

A landmark finding that suggests koala genetic diversity not the only deciding factor in successful regrowth of populations.

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength ...
