Hidden within fish DNA are powerful genetic twists that may explain one of nature’s biggest mysteries: how new species form so quickly. In Lake Malawi, hundreds of cichlid fish species evolved at ...

A new dataset of genetic information collected from 233 primate species, the largest and most complete of its kind, promises to yield insights into primates’ evolutionary biology and how genetics ...

Evolutionary biology is the study of how life diversifies and adapts over time through a range of processes including mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection. From its classical ...

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

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An international research team led by biologists from Heidelberg University as ...

The study of Astyanax mexicanus, encompassing both its cave-adapted and surface-dwelling forms, has emerged as a model for understanding evolutionary adaptation to extreme environments. Researchers ...

A new paper in Genome Biology and Evolution, indicates that while the COVID-19 virus has developed rapidly since 2019, it has done so within limited genetic channels. These genetic limits have ...

Duke’s department of biology recently decided to press pause on one of its gateway courses, Biology 203, Molecular Biology, Genetics and Evolution, reportedly due to negative student feedback on the ...
