July 22 , 2023 367 days 273 0
  • The CSIR-Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology (CCMB) has found the relationship between genetic diversity and species traits.
  • The study focused on centipedes and found that they have higher genetic diversity compared to other arthropods like spiders and insects.
  • Genetic diversity was found to be higher in the southern hemisphere.
  • The historic climatic stability and low seasonality in southern latitudes may contribute to higher genetic diversity.
  • Genetic diversity increased with the geographical distance between individuals, indicating limited gene flow between distant sites.
