Speciation is the process by which a single species gives rise to two daughter species, which are genetically distinct and eventually unable to interbreed. Speciation can occur as a result of ...

From upper left to lower right: binturong, masked palm civet, common palm civet, and small-toothed palm civet. These four species share similar ecology such as nocturnal, semi-arboreal, and ...

Darwin’s Finches on Daphne Major Island, New Edition,” by evolutionary biologists Peter Grant and Rosemary Grant is the ...

This study presents a useful theoretical model of molecular evolution and attempts to use it to resolve the paradox of rapid evolution of ribosomal RNA genes. While intuitive, the model's underlying ...

This important study explores the interplay between gene dosage and gene mutations in the evolution of antibiotic resistance. The authors provide solid evidence to connect proteostasis with gene ...

Evolution is the process of heritable change in populations of organisms over multiple generations. Evolutionary biology is the study of this process, which can occur through mechanisms including ...
