Paleogenomics research is revealing the complex history of bison, overturning assumptions about the ubiquity of cattle ancestry and showing that their decline did not markedly affect genetic diversity, although it has increased population fragmentation.

Paleogenomics research is revealing the complex history of bison, overturning assumptions about the ubiquity of cattle ancestry and showing that their decline did not markedly affect genetic diversity, although it has increased population fragmentation. An accompanying news feature explores how genomic findings are guiding conservation. Photo: © Chris Stenger/Buiten-beeld

Although only 3 sightings & no photos during 10 windy May days of the #vaquita porpoise local observer training, a clear result is that the community engagement & responsibility our partners are building is a solid foundation for continuous monitoring, including acoustics & eDNA

Habitats are changing faster than evolution can keep up.
@colossal @bonesandbugs is editing a single strand of DNA so endangered quolls can survive the toxic cane toad.
Extinction is looking less permanent than we thought.

Most of the time when we think about “explorers” we imagine someone heading off into the jungle to search for a lost city or civilization… but there also exists explorers of a different kind: those who search for lost species.
In today’s video, made in collaboration with @colossal we dive into the story of how the Giant Moa was found & how, with the help of New Zealand’s Māori people, it will one day return🧬

It goes without saying that dioramas, in all their three-dimensional scenic glory (miniature worlds! artistic expression!), are awesome.
We had plenty of fun making this one: a quirky model for the headquarters of @colossal, commissioned by co-founder and CEO Ben Lamm.

The Extinct Ice Age Wolves of North & South America… tomorrow’s video is the first episode of a new series called “Extinctions Through Time” that I created in collaboration with @colossal where we follow the global & human history alongside the life & extinction of Colossal’s six key species: Dire Wolves, Woolly Mammoths, Giant Moas, Dodos, Thylacines & the Blue Buck. 🧬🐺
Tomorrow at 2pm CST!

🐣 The first chicken has been born using an artificial egg, in a breakthrough that could help bring back the 12ft-tall giant moa from extinction
@sarahknapton explains how that could be possible 👇
