A investigation points to success in the recovery program of the American bisona species that was on the verge of extinction. These are the specimens of this animal in the American park of Yellowstoneaccording to the medium in information.
The research that was carried out by Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has shed light on the bison, which have formed what they call as a ‘GENETIC SUPERMATED’within the framework of a stabilization of the species that began with the introduction of bison from Montana and Texas in said National Natural Park.
This finding involves a rethinking of the scientific vision of the behavior and population organization of this emblematic species of the American plains. The same one that was hunted without control until almost extinguished. They barely remained 23 copies at the beginning of the 20th century And now its population is estimated Between the current 4,000 and 6,000.
‘GENETIC SUPERMATED’?
What does it mean about ‘genetic superman’? Broadly speaking, it is that individuals cross freely between ancient subpopulations, which has resulted in a notable increase in genetic diversity. This integration not only strengthens the health of the species, but also consolidates its resilience against diseases and environmental changes.
