Someone once asked me “Is evolution still happening?” My brief answer was “Of course, it’s always happening.” I would have gone on to explain a bit, but the questioner turned and walked away. That ...

Example of a spatial configuration of a 2D expanding and evolving colony of cells, a typical simulation representing an example with 3 mutations. The individual graphs represent different snapshots in ...

A 30-year-long study of a small population of marine snail shows how evolution can adapt to environmental changes quite rapidly. This study revealed how a specific ecotype of the snail changed its ...

The concept of punctuated equilibrium was, to some, a radical new idea when it was first proposed by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge in 1972. Now it is widely recognized as a useful model for one ...

What would you contribute to the world of ecology and evolution if you could access the combined wisdom of faculty from more than a dozen disciplines that span the earth, biological and computational ...

Researchers have shed new light on how viral evolution, population immunity, and the co-circulation of other flu viruses shape seasonal flu epidemics. Researchers have shed new light on how viral ...

Millions thrive at high altitudes due to remarkable genetic adaptations. Tibetans, for instance, possess a gene variant ...
