Population genetics examines how genetic variation is distributed within and between groups of organisms and how this variation changes over time under the influence of evolutionary forces. Core ...

UC San Diego biologists have identified the genetic switch that added a ninth photoreceptor to butterfly eyes, revealing how ...

A major research study is challenging one of evolution’s most influential ideas: that most genetic changes that become permanent are essentially neutral. Researchers at the University of Michigan ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. Subscribe to our newsletter for 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 ...

This volume is based on the National Academy of Sciences' Colloquium on the Tempo and Mode of Evolution. The articles appearing in these pages were contributed by speakers at the colloquium and have ...

Molecular evolutionary biologist Masatoshi Nei says Darwin never proved natural selection is the driving force of evolution — because it isn't. In a cavernous concert hall, before an eager audience of ...

In tropical climates, lizards are everywhere. It can be a bit wild to see, and they come in all shapes and sizes. They seem a tad superfluous in such large varieties leaving one to wonder, what ...
