How animals adapt to toxic ecological niches is poorly understood. This study shows that Drosophila busckii has evolved a tolerance to DMDS, a potent insecticide, likely due to an insensitivity in ...

As climate change accelerates, plants face mounting pressure to adapt to shifting ecosystems and environmental conditions.

Such a survey can lead to inferences about the historical processes that led to differences in the genetic makeup of populations spanning a broad range of geographic and environmental conditions.

Are you ready? Our master's or doctorate program in forest molecular genetics and biotechnology focuses on researching functional genomics, ecological genetics, gene expression profiling at the ...

The biotechnology and molecular genetics program focuses on understanding the life process and genetic controls of forest organisms as they relate to their environment. Researchers study how ...

Washington — Two-thirds of animal and plant populations are declining in genetic diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to environmental changes, according to research published Wednesday.

Study reveals how human history—from Indigenous stewardship to colonization—shaped the genetic diversity of Brazil Nut trees ...
