Orchids represent one of the most diverse and evolutionarily innovative plant families, with pollination ecology and evolution playing central roles in their success. Their complex interactions with ...

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 ...

The evolution of multicellularity represents one of the most consequential transitions in the history of life. This process, in which individual cells coalesce to form integrated and functionally ...

In five cases where vertebrates evolved monogamy, the same changes in gene expression occurred each time. In many non-monogamous species, females provide all or most of the offspring care. In ...

Humans were living in rainforests roughly 150,000 years ago, some 80,000 years earlier than was previously thought—and may have been an important center for early human evolution. This is the ...

This year's Sjöberg Prize of one million US dollars is awarded to a British cancer researcher who has provided fundamental knowledge about evolution in tumors. Charles Swanton, at the Francis Crick ...

The (un)lucky fossil, now known as Kabwe 1, represents a turning point at a time when Africa was considered peripheral to the story of human evolution. A century later, it’s widely accepted that the ...

Evolution, as a scientific topic, encompasses the study of heritable change in populations of organisms over successive generations, driven primarily by mechanisms such as mutation, natural selection, ...

Spicomellus afer, a newly analyzed Jurassic ankylosaur from Morocco, is overturning scientists’ understanding of dinosaur evolution. Unlike any other known creature, it carried a collar of meter-long ...

What would you contribute to the world of ecology and evolution if you could access the combined wisdom of faculty from more than a dozen disciplines that span the earth, biological and computational ...
