Snow Leopard Fossil Study Reveals Evolutionary Path and Conservation Implications
An international team's study published in Science Advances reveals that five fossilized snow leopards from outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau represent dispersed populations, not separate lineages, expanding their range during the Middle Pleistocene due to factors like mountainous terrain and prey a...

Western Monarch Butterfly Population Plummets 96%
The western monarch butterfly population has dropped to 9,119 in 2024, a 96% decrease from 2023, primarily due to pesticides, habitat loss, and extreme heat; the US Fish and Wildlife Service is considering listing them as threatened, while a petition requests pesticide testing.

Global Genetic Diversity Decline in Two-Thirds of Species
A global study of 628 species across 141 countries found a two-thirds decline in genetic diversity between 1985 and 2019, primarily due to habitat loss, climate change, invasive species, and human activity; however, successful conservation projects show that this loss can be reversed.

Widespread Genetic Diversity Decline Threatens Species Survival
A Nature study analyzed 628 species (1985-2019), finding that two-thirds experienced genetic diversity decline, impacting resilience and increasing extinction risk, even in widespread species. Conservation strategies must focus on maintaining genetic diversity beyond population size.
