Gene flow — the movement of genetic material between populations — is a powerful evolutionary force that shapes biodiversity, adaptation, and even our own human history. From pollen drifting on the ...

The researchers identified regions with Neandertal ancestry in over 300 individuals. They assessed sharing of segments, inferred gene flow, and looked at variation to identify candidates for positive ...

"In fact, assisted gene flow has been successful in boosting resilience across many animal species and may offer a critical lifeline for struggling coral populations." Coral reefs worldwide are under ...

Songbirds who make the arduous flight from their nesting sites in northern boreal forests to warm, southern climates in the winter may be rewarded for their journey with greater genetic diversity.
