Recently, there’s been a significant shift in our understanding of salmon genetics. Researchers have found a distinct area in salmon DNA where the spring and fall chinook differ. Continue Reading A Push To Protect Spring Chinook Salmon Read More
New genetic research on the Northwest’s wolves finds they descended from a mix of two different types — some from the northern Rocky Mountains and some from coastal rain forests. That means the packs that form in our region have more genetic diversity — a key to survival. Read More
Researchers had long suspected salmon have lost huge amounts genetic diversity over the years. But they’d never tested the hypothesis -- until now. Continue Reading Big (And Fishy) Problem: Salmon Losing Their Genetic DiversityRead More
