The transition from water to land is a question that still intrigues scientists. Those ancient organisms would have needed to ...

New study shows that plants evolve in under five years, but extreme heat still pushes many populations toward extinction.

A new paper in Genome Biology and Evolution, indicates that while the COVID-19 virus has developed rapidly since 2019, it has done so within limited genetic channels. These genetic limits have ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have traced the genetic changes that allowed animals to colonize land not once but ...

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution generated scientific debate and discussion not only in Darwin's own time, but for decades afterward. In the latter part of the nineteenth century and the until the ...

Graham Coop, a professor of evolution and ecology at UC Davis, was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his work on human genetics and evolution. Katrina Huynh UC Davis A professor ...

Unlike the nuclear genome, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is small, circular, and maternally inherited. This simplifies lineage tracing and can guide inferences of evolutionary relationships as part ...

This volume is based on the National Academy of Sciences' Colloquium on the Tempo and Mode of Evolution. The articles appearing in these pages were contributed by speakers at the colloquium and have ...

In five cases where vertebrates evolved monogamy, the same changes in gene expression occurred each time. In many non-monogamous species, females provide all or most of the offspring care. In ...
