Researchers uncover the arks of genetic diversity in terrestrial mammals

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Adelaide developed models based on longstanding evolutionary and ecological theories to explain and map genetic diversity globally, a basal, but previously hidden dimension of biodiversity.
