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

But at times, they can enable populations to adapt to change. For example, golden kelp (Ecklonia radiata) likes colder water. But in a population, some individuals will have mutations suited for ...

在物种走向灭绝之前，它们的种群数量通常会显著减少并变得孤立。健康种群通常拥有丰富的基因库，内部循环着大量的遗传变异。然而，随着种群锐减，基因库逐渐缩小，遗传多样性的丧失会削弱物种应对疾病、气候变化等环境威胁的能力。在一项于近日发表在《自然》杂志上的研 ...

Global habitat deterioration of marine ecosystems has led to a need for active interventions to halt or reverse the loss of ecological function. Restoration has historically been a key tool to reverse ...

The brown seaweed Ecklonia maxima, commonly referred to as sea bamboo, forms highly productive ecosystems that support a wide range of marine life and deliver numerous ecosystem benefits. Found along ...

Patterns of species richness and their structuring forces at multiple scales provide a critical context for research efforts focusing on ecology, evolution, and conservation. Diversity gradients have ...
