If you walk through a forest and look down, you might think you're stepping on dead leaves, twigs and soil. In reality, ...

In the dim waters off the Japanese coast, scientists have stumbled upon something that shouldn’t exist. Or at least not by the rules we thought biology followed. While sequencing DNA from a tiny ...

When one bird was immobile, the cat almost always ignored it in favor of its mobile comrade: “After TI was induced in a bird, ...

Scientists reconstructed 500 million years of evolutionary history to reveal which came first: colorful signals or the color ...

Alignment and sequencing errors are a major concern in molecular evolution, and this valuable study represents a welcome improvement for genome-wide scans of positive selection. This new method seems ...

Much evidence from biological theory and empirical data indicates that, gene trees, phylogenetic trees reconstructed from different genes (loci), do not have to have exactly the same tree topologies.

“We characterized phylogenetic relationships across the entire genome and identified patterns associated with the genomic context and sequence characteristics,” said Josefin Stiller, the leading ...

By updating the family tree for birds, the scientists show evolutionary patterns that formed following the cataclysmic mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.
