"Estimating the mutation rate improves our ability to reconstruct koala population history, understand their capacity to adapt, and make more informed conservation decisions for the future."

Estimates covering the most recent koala generations indicate that populations in Queensland and New South Wales have continued to decline.

The new analysis suggests that a major koala population decline began around 100,000 years ago.

We can’t rely on instinct like the koala does.

By examining how koalas responded to earlier population crashes and recoveries, scientists may be able to develop better conservation strategies for protecting the species today.

This allowed them to calculate a precise mutation rate for koalas, which was about half the rate found in humans.

The most effective strategy involved sterilizing about 22% of adult female koalas each year in areas with the highest population densities rather than applying the approach across the entire region.

Temperatures once rare are becoming more common, particularly during summer, Mella said, meaning koalas "are likely to experience heat stress conditions more regularly and over longer periods each year".

Even among herbivores and omnivores, many species, like koalas, are too finicky in their plant preferences to recommend themselves as farm animals.
