At the National Cancer Institute's Laboratory of Genomic Diversity in Frederick, Md., scientists try to put the human genome in context by studying the evolution of other mammals.
A "live fast, die young" life history strategy could have been a key factor behind today's high tree diversity in the Amazon, scientists have suggested.
Even though the new study addresses what some feel are critical flaws in the previous work showing steep increases in diversity, scientists note the results are a first look at a complex new database.

Although there is little evidence that GMOs have impacted genetic diversity in today's environment, scientists and ecologists are very aware of the potential influence that GMOs have on biodiversity.
The UNISDR Science and Technology Conference on the Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 2030 (henceforth referred to as the S&T Conference) was convened in Geneva in January 2016, bringing together a diversity of scientists, practitioners, and policymakers in DRR.
