- The population of koalas in Victoria has significantly recovered, leading to improved genetic diversity.
- Earlier, excessive hunting and habitat loss caused a sharp decline, creating a genetic bottleneck in the species.
- Rapid population growth in recent decades has increased gene reshuffling and reduced inbreeding problems.
- This has helped improve overall health, reduce deformities, and enhance adaptability to environmental changes.
- Koalas are marsupials that mainly feed on eucalyptus leaves and depend on forest ecosystems for survival.
