Several gecko species found during a series of surveys in a remote region of Cambodia have been confirmed as new to science.

Chunks of flipped DNA appear to accelerate evolution in fish. This discovery could reshape our understanding of how biodiversity arises. Scientists have discovered that segments of “flipped” DNA help ...

For certain fishes, evolution is easy. After tracking the evolution of teeth in cichlid fishes from Africa, a team of researchers has found that these fishes have developed the ability to evolve ...

This study investigated the speciation and aqueous dissolution of macronutrients in fire ash from diverse ecosystems and speciation of ash and smoke from laboratory burning, exploring the variations ...

For decades, researchers have observed that rates of evolution seem to accelerate over short time periods—say five million years versus fifty million years. This broad pattern has suggested that ...

Analyses of 50 primate genomes through comparative genomics unveil essential genetic processes involved in primate speciation, adaptive phenotypic changes, and the evolution of social systems. A ...

The genomes of 233 primate species reveal key features of primate evolution, human disease, and biodiversity conservation.

The Primate Genome Project unlocks hidden secrets of primate evolution Comparative genomic analyses of 50 primate genomes reveal crucial genetic mechanisms of primate speciation, phenotypic ...

Species transformation is a result of genetic variation, natural selection, environmental factors, and speciation events. Genetic variation and recombination create diversity, while natural ...

By mapping ERV variation across all species of Darwin's finches and comparing with related finch species, the researchers highlight geographical and historical patterns of retrovirus-host occurrence.
