Genetic diversity can reflectadaptation• Populations that haveadapted to their localenvironment are expectedto have distinct geneticpatterns• It is important to detectand maintain thesedifferencesOtters.Photo: Cyril Blazy
Future in genes• Climate change is forcing species to adapt to new conditions or moveaway• High genetic diversity means there are more genetic variants that mightbe suited to the new conditions• Possessing higher genetic diversity provides a population with more‘tickets in the lottery’Dryas octopetala in the Alps,Germany.
