@nicolasdussex.bsky.social et al. investigate the genomic basis of adaptation in the Svalbard reindeer, an endemic subspecies that colonized the High Arctic ~7,000 years ago, adapting to extreme cold, day length changes, and resource scarcity.

This de-extinction absurdity is clearly all about $$$$$$.
Worse, it is being exploited by the right wing as a cover to justify environmental destruction. Every good biologist at Colossal should resign.

Great to see our latest paper on Ngorongoro Crater lion genomics out @commsbio.bsky.social
Even after a rapid post-epizootic recovery in the 1970s, habitat fragmentation and continued isolation led to an increase in genetic load and to a reduction in overall genetic variation.
