In his 1989 book Wonderful Life, the late Harvard scientist Stephen Jay Gould imagined rewinding life’s history to an early ...
All the living things that we can see evolved from those that we can’t. Every human, bird, tree, and flower can trace its ancestry across a few billion years back to microscopic, single-celled ...
A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce ...
Laboratory evolution experiments in microbial and viral populations have provided great insight into the dynamics and predictability of evolution. The rise of high-throughput sequencing technologies ...
Long-term experimental evolution in brewer’s yeast reveals how the transition to simple multicellularity can drive ecological divergence and maintain diversity. The evolution of multicellularity ...
Snails on a tiny rocky islet evolved before scientists' eyes. The marine snails were reintroduced after a toxic algal bloom wiped them out from the skerry. While the researchers intentionally brought ...
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 ...
The Evolution Experiment Still Running After 75,000 Generations Since the late 1980s, a simple flask of bacteria has been quietly recording the story of evolution. Across tens of thousands of ...
Through a new review paper published in Nature, Georgia Tech scientists are revealing how decades-long research programs have transformed our understanding of evolution, uncovering secrets that would ...
One-of-a-kind experiment tracked plant evolution in response to climate change at 30 sites worldwide
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 ...
Over 3,000 generations of laboratory evolution, researchers watched as their model organism, 'snowflake yeast,' began to adapt as multicellular individuals. In new research, the team shows how ...
