How can DNA help us to protect endangered species?
Diana Aguilar (Postdoctoral researcher)
Studying the DNA of animals helps understand their history, and ability to adapt. My research focuses on endangered populations and how human activities have impacted their genetic diversity. I study the Florida panther which was nearly extinct in the 1990s, and the Rice’s whale, with fewer than 50 individuals left. By understanding their history and genetics we can better inform conservation efforts.
