A first-of-its-kind map created by a team of scientists at the University of Sydney shows that the genetic diversity of koala populations is in decline across Australia, putting the iconic marsupial ...

A genomic study has reshaped our understanding of the evolutionary history of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), revealing the iconic Australian marsupial experienced a severe population decline ...

South Australia’s koala population has grown so large that it may be heading toward a self-made disaster, with forests struggling to support the animals. Researchers say targeted fertility control ...

Koalas suffered a massive population decline that left them with dangerously low genetic diversity. However, new genomic research suggests their rapid rebound may be helping reverse some of that ...

Scientists at the University of Sydney's Australasian Wildlife Genomics Group have loaded the entire genomes of 116 koalas to the public domain to accelerate vital genomic research to support the ...

The Australian government will spend $50 million to ramp up protections for koalas. Research suggests there’s been a 30 percent decline in Australia’s koala population since 2018. The new investment ...

A groundbreaking genomic study in Molecular Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press, has reshaped our understanding of the evolutionary history of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus ...
