For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that ...
Darwin's other mistake / Michael R. Rose and Theodore Garland Jr. -- The importance of experimental studies in evolutionary biology / Douglas J. Futuyma and Albert F. Bennett -- Modeling experimental ...
Scientists warn that assisted evolution may be too slow to save coral reefs as ocean heat waves intensify and climate change ...
Evolved macroscopic "snowflake" yeast from the MuLTEE experiment. The large size of the nuclei (yellow) and cells (cyan) are results of whole-genome duplication and aneuploidy. Sometimes, the most ...
Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...
The longest-running evolution experiment in human history has been going on since 1988, and yet it has already seen 80,000 generations. The "Long-Term Evolution Experiment" (LTTE) involves Escherichia ...
Why do some species live for only weeks while others survive for centuries? Researchers at the Leibniz Institute on ...
In a one-of-a-kind experiment led by UC Berkeley researchers, biologists in Europe, the Middle East and U.S. planted 360 small plots of Arabidopsis (above) in various types of climates — from alpine ...
Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab. Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by ...
