Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid ...

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

Fish transitioning from marine to freshwater habitats is a complex adaptive journey involving multiple polygenic traits. This parallel evolution of rapid freshwater adaptation, scientists note, ...

LOGAN, UTAH, USA – Understanding the material basis of adaptive evolution has been a central goal in biology dating back to at least the time of Darwin. One focus of current debates is whether ...

The development of modern evolutionary theory : Darwin ; Mendelism ; Johannsen ; Population genetics ; The modern synthesis ; Further developments -- The factors of ...

A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team showed that a group of highly divergent mammals known as Afrotheria and distantly ...

Centralized migration accelerates adaptation and drives parallel evolution, emphasizing the key influence of spatial organization on evolutionary dynamics across systems from pathogen transmission to ...

A new understanding of adaptive evolution, the way in which living things change and develop over many years to be able to live in a particular place, is emerging thanks to an international team of ...

A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team led by Nicole Grunstra from the University of Vienna and Anne Le Maître from the ...
