Across the tree of life, human activities are accelerating declines in biological species diversity, from deserts to oceans ...

Before species go extinct, their populations often shrink and become isolated. Healthy populations tend to have a large gene ...

A scientist has discovered a hopping treasure trove -- 16 new species of grasshoppers living in the thorny scrubs of U.S. and Mexican deserts.

This leaves a species more vulnerable to future threats such as disease. “A surprisingly trend was that we saw genetic diversity declining even among" many species that aren't considered at risk ...
