Darwin's other mistake / Michael R. Rose and Theodore Garland Jr. -- The importance of experimental studies in evolutionary biology / Douglas J. Futuyma and Albert F. Bennett -- Modeling experimental ...
Snails on a tiny rocky islet evolved before scientists' eyes. The marine snails were reintroduced after a toxic algal bloom wiped them out from the skerry. While the researchers intentionally brought ...
In a one-of-a-kind experiment led by UC Berkeley researchers, biologists in Europe, the Middle East and U.S. planted 360 small plots of Arabidopsis (above) in various types of climates — from alpine ...
Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...
When males are forced to compete for females, new species form more rapidly. This has been shown in a new study where the researchers compared beetles allowed to mate freely with groups of the same ...
FRANKFURT. The large-scale experiment began in autumn 2017 with 360 small plastic tubes containing a mixture of Arabidopsis thaliana seeds, an inconspicuous annual plant with small white flowers. The ...
Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab. Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by ...
A stunning new fossil find from the Grand Canyon fills in some blanks from a time when evolution began experimenting with weird new forms. About half a billion years ago, life on Earth really started ...
