Colossal Biosciences’ artificial egg technology would deliver a useful tool for the conservation of threatened birds, but only if it’s made publicly available.
A tech company says it could be five years away from bringing the dodo back.
Gene editing could add genetic diversity that can revitalise species on the brink of extinction.
Are new approaches to recreating long-lost animals simply creating imitations?
Two conservation scholars break down what de-extinction looks like – and the debate over whether it could do any good.
Gene editing promises everything from treatments for serious conditions like sickle cell disease to the resurrection of the dodo.
All the evidence points to one thing: humans and woolly mammoths certainly lived side by side. But did humans hunt mammoths too?
Evolution towards flightlessness has been much more common through history than scientists once thought.
The newly discovered Heracles inexpectatus stood nearly a metre tall. And its fossil bones sat undiscovered on a museum shelf for more than a decade before its hefty status was finally appreciated.
Jurassic Park’s dinosaur DNA premise is not so simple in real life
My wildlife friends and I often talk about what species we would bring back from extinction. I am torn between the dodo and the thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger. This was once a speculative…
Genetic analysis has helped untangle the ancestry of an enigmatic extinct bird species. Tim Heupink from Griffith University…
