Genetic structure and diversity of the koala population in South Gippsland, Victoria: a remnant population of high conservation significance

2018-06-01

Abstract excerpt

In the Australian state of Victoria, the history of koalas and their management has resulted in the homogenisation and reduction of genetic diversity in many contemporary populations. Decreased genetic diversity may reduce a species’ ability to adapt to future environmental pressures such as climate change or disease. The South Gippsland koala population is considered to be unique in Victoria, as it is believed to...
