Intensive hunting almost wiped out the moose population in the Nordics in the 19th century. The first large-scale genomic study of moose in Scandinavia shows that inbreeding did not increased and the species have maintained most of genetic diversity. su.se/english/news/g…

So far I've had more success getting DNA out of 1M-year-old mammoths than 2,000-year-old elephants, but because I like a challenge, I'll spend the next 5 years trying to track the history of the elephant ivory trade as a Branco Weiss Fellow at CopenhagenU. brancoweissfellowship.org/fellow/pecnero…
