A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, finds that changes in animal development induced by climate shock persist ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment tracing evolution across 25 generations, scientists have discovered that marine copepods—the tiny crustaceans at the heart of the ocean food web—rely on a largely ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

University of Vermont Professor Melissa Pespeni led a research team that explored how tiny sea creatures evolve. Her discovery provides hope that organisms in the ocean my be more resilient to the ...

Rajiv McCoy is a newly tenured Associate Professor within the Department of Biology at Hopkins. He is renowned for his ...

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 ...

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. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

New study shows that plants evolve in under five years, but extreme heat still pushes many populations toward extinction.
