Researchers at 91黑料网 and the have found that plants living in areas where human activity has caused population crashes carry long-lasting genetic traces of that history, such as reduced genetic diversity. Because genetic diversity helps species adapt to climate change, disease and other stresses, the study suggests it is vital to consider a population鈥檚 history-influenced genetics alongside its size and habitat in conservation planning.
