Research Progress on Effects of Environmental Pollution on Animal Genetic Diversity

The negative impacts of environmental pollution on animal genetic diversity are the main topic of the research report. Since the Industrial Revolution, industrial activity has increased, and environmental pollution has become a major worldwide concern. The three primary issues examined in this research are the direct effects of chemical pollutants on genetic integrity, habitat fragmentation that reduces gene flow, and climate change as a pollution-driven danger to genetic diversity. The study uses a mixed-method approach, using data from genetic studies and a literature review on the effects of pollutants on DNA. Information is taken from a number of studies on pesticide resistance, evolutionary toxicity, and how species are affected by climate change. According to the study's findings, environmental contamination is drastically lowering animal populations' genetic diversity. These problems are made worse by climate change, which increases species vulnerability and causes genetic loss.

Abstract

The negative impacts of environmental pollution on animal genetic diversity are the main topic of the research report. Since the Industrial Revolution, industrial activity has increased, and environmental pollution has become a major worldwide concern. The three primary issues examined in this research are the direct effects of chemical pollutants on genetic integrity, habitat fragmentation that reduces gene flow, and climate change as a pollution-driven danger to genetic diversity. The study uses a mixed-method approach, using data from genetic studies and a literature review on the effects of pollutants on DNA. Information is taken from a number of studies on pesticide resistance, evolutionary toxicity, and how species are affected by climate change. According to the study's findings, environmental contamination is drastically lowering animal populations' genetic diversity. These problems are made worse by climate change, which increases species vulnerability and causes genetic loss.
