Gene editing technologies—such as those used in agriculture and de-extinction projects—can be repurposed to offer what an ...

Our results provide a quantitative explanation as to why the costs of reproduction are not apparent and why variation in reproductive effort persists within species.

Researchers at the University of Calgary are suggesting a more comprehensive approach for identifying at-risk wildlife populations—such as caribou—based on individual movement patterns.

The term “panther” often evokes images of powerful, stealthy black big cats moving gracefully through dense jungles or ...

Discover interesting facts about how evolution works, the different patterns that can emerge from evolution, how quickly organisms can evolve, and whether evolution is a random or ordered process ...

Among-species trait differences explained a greater proportion of overall variance than within-species variation, except for root dry matter content (RDMC). Height and leaf area stood out, with ...

Genetic variation lies at the heart of species transformation. Within a population, individuals possess different genetic traits due to mutations, gene flow, and genetic recombination during ...

The Northern Treeshrew defies two of the most widely tested ecological “rules” of body size variation within species, a new study finds.

In contrast, if the species has genetic variation within the gene, perhaps one version of it will allow an individual to resist the disease, saving the species.

Intraspecific variation in foundation species such as mangroves (above), corals, and kelp forests serves to maintain ecosystem resilience in the face of a rapidly changing climate. (Photo by Simone ...

The rapid loss of variation within species is a hidden biodiversity crisis, according to a new study looking at how this variation supports essential ecological functions and the benefits nature ...
