    Scientists use DNA from poop to save the world’s rarest marsupial

    Scientists in Australia are using DNA techniques to help save the critically endangered Gilbert's potoroo, with fewer than 150 left in the wild. They analyze DNA in the animals' scat to uncover clues about the fungi they depend on for survival. This could help conservationists identify safer habitats and establish backup populations.
