These animals, such as flatworms, salamanders and zebrafish, are not at all closely related, suggesting that the ability to regenerate goes far back in evolutionary time. Is it possible to find a common set of genes for regeneration, that could unlock a new understanding of this process?&nbsp;</p> August 19, 2024 - 2:57pm Andy Fell /blog/no-evidence-common-set-regeneration-genes /news/high-severity-wildfires-complicate-natural-regeneration-california-conifers <p>A study spanning 10 national forests and 14 burned areas in California found that conifer seedlings were found in less than 60 percent of the study areas five to seven years after fire. Of the nearly 1,500 plots surveyed, nearly half showed no natural conifer regeneration at all.&nbsp;The study,&nbsp;co-led by ´ºÉ«ÊÓƵ and the USDA Forest Service,&nbsp;presents a tool to help foresters prioritize which lands to replant immediately after a fire, and which lands they can expect to regrow naturally.</p> December 21, 2016 - 3:31pm Katherine E Kerlin /news/high-severity-wildfires-complicate-natural-regeneration-california-conifers
