Genetic diversity underpins the capacity of plant populations to respond to environmental change, resist disease and adapt to novel stresses. Within and between populations, variation arises through ...

The Mexican tetra and other cave‐dwelling teleosts have emerged as models to investigate the genetic basis of adaptation to perpetual darkness and resource limitation. Comparative genomic and ...

Scientists have uncovered thousands of bacterial DNA fragments hidden inside cockroaches for millions of years. The ...

Some colorful lizards and a mathematical formula from the finance sector have been used to build a new framework to model evolution. Developed by Dr. Simone Blomberg from The University of ...

Today, researchers from leading institutions, including the University of Manitoba, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Polar Bears International, the Norwegian Polar Institute, and San Diego Zoo ...

Climate change is rapidly altering our environment—and posing major challenges for many animal species. Whether they can adapt depends largely on their genetic diversity. An international study ...

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 ...

A just-published article in the journal Nature—“Ancient DNA reveals pervasive directional selection across West Eurasia,” (Akbari et al, 15 April 2026)—describes how the development of agriculture in ...

Mental health clinicians are over five times more likely to see evolutionary explanations of anxiety as helpful for their patients, rather than the genetic approaches currently taught to trainee ...
