This important study introduces an approach to discovering antibiotic resistance determinants by leveraging diverse susceptibility profiles among related mycobacterial species, with particular ...

Understanding the relationship between macro- and microevolutionary processes and their delimitation remains a challenge. This review focuses on the role of chromosomal rearrangements in plant ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the capacity for rapid adaptation within a few generations, known as evolvability, can also explain species divergence over millions of years. By analyzing extensive ...

Ever since Charles Darwin published his landmark theory of how species evolve, biologists have been fascinated with the intricate mechanisms that make evolution possible. Can mechanisms responsible ...

The Natural History Museum’s collections are helping scientists to get a handle on how evolution works. The digitisation of thousands of bird specimens is being used to try and explain some of the ...

As a major origin of evolutionary novelties, gene duplication is a widespread phenomenon across species. However, the evolutionary force that determines the fate of duplicate genes is still under ...

Human activities have played an important role in driving biodiversity loss throughout history, but the nature of these dynamics remains unclear. Importantly, the role of cultural evolution is mostly ...

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson went toe-to-toe with the hosts of "The View" on Tuesday. It wasn't a standard presidential-candidate interview. Whoopi Goldberg's first two questions to the soft-spoken ...

Despite advances in understanding the patterns and processes of microevolution in RNA viruses, little is known about the determinants of viral diversification at the macroevolutionary scale. In ...

Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace based their insight that organisms evolve by natural selection on four principles 1,2: first, that organisms have “individual variations” that are faithfully ...
