While teaching a class on coarse-graining methods in physics, James O'Dwyer realized that the technique could be used to understand how microbes evolve over time. The results, published in PNAS, ...
Across cities and suburbs, a curious pattern keeps turning up in aerial photos and field surveys alike: trees that stand closest to cell towers are often the ones that look the sickest. Their crowns ...
In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species – the “family tree” of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of organisms ...
In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species -- the ''family tree'' of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of ...
Leonardo da Vinci’s sketch of a tree illustrates the principle that combined thickness is preserved at different stages of ramification. The math that describes the branching pattern of trees in ...
The strangler fig is a keystone species in the tropics, providing food and shelter, and a place to poop for 17 different ...
Scientists have identified the genetic changes that helped tree-dwelling snakes to evolve longer tails across multiple ...
