- A genetic blueprint for saving Asia’s iconic hornbills
A study by researchers from CCMB-Hyderabad and the Nature Conservation Foundation-Mysore decoded the complete genomes of four hornbill species, revealing insights into their evolutionary history and how past climatic shifts influenced their populations. The findings provide genetic resources to aid conservation efforts for these seed-dispersing birds.
