The results reveal a species loss of 16% since the end of the 17th century and demonstrate that the loss of species depends on increasing urbanisation as well as the geographi Press release, 12-04-2024 Extinction of Species Research Genomics Collection Mammals Why European colonization drove the blue antelope to extinction Genomic data shed light on the evolutionary history and extinction of the blue antelope.

The new approach requires minimal low-cost materials and is simple enough to be carried out by everyone at the site of discovery and complements the scientific expertise of researchers.
