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.

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 ...

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

Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.

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