For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that ...

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 ...

Scientists warn that assisted evolution may be too slow to save coral reefs as ocean heat waves intensify and climate change ...

Evolved macroscopic "snowflake" yeast from the MuLTEE experiment. The large size of the nuclei (yellow) and cells (cyan) are results of whole-genome duplication and aneuploidy. Sometimes, the most ...

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 ...

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 ...

Why do some species live for only weeks while others survive for centuries? Researchers at the Leibniz Institute on ...

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 ...

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 ...
