In the spring, ants are once again hard at work. Beyond their everyday presence, ants are also key model organisms in cutting ...
Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it deserves to be called a new rule of life. Instead of always purging harmful ...
The beetle that ‘shouldn’t exist’ turns out to be a case study in how complex traits actually evolve. Here’s how it came to ...
The evolution of eukaryotic cells represents one of the most pivotal transitions in the history of life, marked by the emergence of cellular compartmentalisation and increased complexity. Central to ...
