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.

A large-scale genomic study of koalas across eastern Australia has found that populations that went through severe 20th-century bottlenecks are already showing signs of genetic recovery, challenging ...

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

1 The extinction vortex, is genetic variation related to extinction?; 2 How to measure genetic variation; 3 Inbreeding, geographic subdivision, and gene flow; 4 Genetic diversity in changing ...

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