The gene pool is dangerously shallow for many species. Researchers find five ways to support
Golden bandits (ISOODON AURATUS). Credit: Corin Sims/Biodiversity, Conservation and Attraction, CC by-Sa Before the species become extinct, their groups are often shrunk and isolated. A healthy group tends to have a large gene pool where many genetic varines circulate. However, as the gene pool of the species shrinks as the population decreases, the road to extinction erodes genetic diversity. Losing…
