Sep. 23, 2020 —Genome duplications play a major role in the development of forms and structures of plant organisms and their changes across long periods of evolution. Biologists made this discovery in their ...
May 3, 2021 —Flatfishes rapidly evolved into the most asymmetric vertebrates by changing multiple traits at once, according to a new ...
Jan. 19, 2022 —Wild populations must continuously adapt to environmental changes or risk extinction. For more than fifty years, scientists have described instances of 'rapid evolution' in specific ...
May 26, 2022 —The raw material for evolution is much more abundant in wild animals than we previously believed, according to new ...
May 2, 2022 —The absence of large herbivores after the extinction of the dinosaurs changed the evolution of plants. The 25 million years of large herbivore absence slowed down the evolution of new plant species. ...
Oct. 7, 2020 —A research team has investigated the consequences of changes in plant biodiversity for the functioning of ecosystems. The scientists found that the relationships between plant traits and ecosystem ...
Nov. 11, 2020 —A large-scale study conducted by molecular biologists has yielded groundbreaking new insights into the evolution and regulation of gene expression in mammalian organs. The scientists investigated RNA ...
Apr. 14, 2021 —Researchers have discovered how a uniquely high density of sweat glands evolved in the human genome. Researchers showed that the higher density of sweat glands in humans is due mostly to accumulated ...
June 6, 2022 —A new study provides the first comprehensive explanation of how snake venom regulatory systems evolved -- an important example that illuminates the evolution of new complex ...
Sep. 16, 2020 —New research finds that the traits that make vertebrates distinct from invertebrates were made possible by the emergence of a new set of genes 500 million years ago, documenting an important episode ...
