Wildlife Genetics
Wildlife Genetics involves the study of genetic variation in animal populations, focusing on how genes are inherited and how they impact the evolution, behavior, and conservation of wildlife species. Researchers in this field analyze DNA sequences to understand the genetic diversity within and among populations, helping to inform conservation efforts, understand species interactions, and track the movement of individuals within ecosystems. Wildlife Genetics plays a crucial role in managing and preserving biodiversity, as well as in identifying and protecting endangered species.
