Genomic erosion and inbreeding in an abundant island population of koalas

2025-03-05

Abstract excerpt

The persistence of many threatened species depends on isolated habitat patches such as conservation parks, fenced reserves, and islands. While these ‘conservation arks’ provide refuge from many contemporary threats, they can also pose risks of genetic diversity loss and inbreeding depression, further exacerbating extinction risk. A pertinent exemplar is the Kangaroo Island koala population in South Australia, whic...
