Genetic maps help conservation managers maintain healthy bears

21 mayo 2015

A comprehensive genetic study of American black bears throughout North America has been completed by scientists. They discovered that black bears in Alaska are more closely related to bears in the eastern regions of the US and Canada than those located in western regions. The study revealed ancient movement patterns of black bears and provide detailed ‘genetic maps’ that could help conservation management officials maintain healthy bear populations throughout North America.
