Description
Greek brown bears in the Pindos range carry healthy gene variety, Tzoulia-Maria Tsalazidou-Founta and co-authors report in a 2024 study. Split habitats can isolate bear groups and erode their genes. Two hundred fourteen hair samples, gathered without disturbing the animals, were read at fifteen gene markers.
The central subpopulation shows high diversity, no missing variation, and no signs of inbreeding. The wider region had gone unstudied for over a decade, so the fresh census matters. Corridors and conflict planning can build on the good news, since genetically sound bears still need room to roam and safe passage between valleys.
