Scientists found that protecting genetic variation in puddle frogs' DNA is crucial for species survival amid climate crisis.
Scientists studying DNA of puddle frogs in central African rainforests found that protecting genetic variation is crucial for species survival amid climate crisis. Genomic hotspots and vulnerable areas were identified, highlighting the risk of extinction for even widespread species due to genetic susceptibility to climate change. Preserving areas with high genomic variation can help species adapt and persist in changing environments, according to the research.
