Scientists have discovered a potential path out of devastating genetic bottlenecks that could help these Australian animals, ...

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.

Raymond Island is slightly off the beaten path, and has no hotels, shops, or restaurants—but this biodiverse wonderland has become a wildlife lovers’ dream.

Once-threatened koala populations in parts of Australia are showing surprising signs of genomic recovery, according to a ...

It's long been assumed that koalas in southern Australia are genetically unhealthy. A new study finds they're actually recovering, changing how scientists look at genetic risks.

If you follow media coverage of koalas, you could be forgiven for feeling confused. Recent stories describe a “koala paradox”: endangered in the north of Australia, abundant in the south; genetically ...
