A new study published in Evolutionary Human Sciences provides evidence that when the human body undergoes extreme physical ...

The Cromwell Harbor Foundation named two early-career scholars of extraordinary promise as the inaugural recipients of their Chrysalis Prize, awarding each scholar $250,000 in unrestricted support, ...

A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, finds that changes in animal development induced by climate shock persist ...

Evolutionary biology explores how living systems change over time through variation, inheritance and differential success. At its heart lies the concept of descent with modification: populations ...

Scientists have long tried to decode every dream we have. Some say it’s survival training, others say it’s memory at work, ...

The study of early vertebrates provides an essential window into the evolutionary processes that shaped modern biodiversity. Fossil discoveries spanning the Silurian to Devonian periods reveal a ...

This semi-aquatic mammal may look improbable, but its biology reveals how evolution shapes even the strangest mammal bodies.

Frequent burn exposure may have driven human genetic adaptations that improve healing but worsen severe injury outcomes.

Research study reports intriguing findings made through innovative artificial intelligence analysis about yeasts -- small fungi that are key contributors to biotechnology, food production, and human ...

New research is significantly revising a widely cited evolutionary model, the Inhibitory Cascade Mode (ICM). Benjamin Auerbach, professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the ...

Scientists have developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy -- organisms carrying extra genome copies -- in evolution. Their findings reveal that polyploidy can stabilize ...

Mild aggression and lethal violence evolved separately, according to research across 100 primate species. The study ...
