(Link in bio.) 🔬 With DNA samples supplied by animal keepers, scientists at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Center for Conservation Genomics are the first to confirm parthenogenesis in this species! Along with partners, they published their findings in PLOS ONE.#Science #WeSaveSpecies
