DNA in museum collections harbours rich information on the past population genetics of endangered species, including butterflies. The remnant (meta)populations of Euphydryas maturna (Nymphalidae), a ...

Genetic variation within Drosophila populations underpins our understanding of how organisms adapt to changing environments. As a premier model, Drosophila offers finely resolved genomic tools and ...

Gene editing may hold the key to rescuing endangered species—not just by preserving them, but by restoring their lost genetic diversity using DNA from museum specimens and related species. Scientists ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment tracing evolution across 25 generations, scientists have discovered that marine copepods—the tiny crustaceans at the heart of the ocean food web—rely on a largely ...
