Centralized migration accelerates adaptation and drives parallel evolution, emphasizing the key influence of spatial organization on evolutionary dynamics across systems from pathogen transmission to ...

An international study investigating the genomic diversity of the Sudanese population reveals that the Copts originating in Egypt—who settled in the country between the seventh and eleventh ...

Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid ...

Is evolution too slow to observe? Evolution is often thought of as a slow process unfolding over vast geological timescales.

Evolution describes changes in inherited traits of populations through successive generations. To fully understand the science of ecology, one must first be able to grasp evolutionary concepts. Aa Aa ...

Evolution is a complicated thing. Much of modern evolutionary biology seeks to reconcile the seeming randomness of the forces behind the process — how mutations occur, for example — with the ...

Example of a spatial configuration of a 2D expanding and evolving colony of cells, a typical simulation representing an example with 3 mutations. The individual graphs represent different snapshots in ...

Researchers have shed new light on how viral evolution, population immunity, and the co-circulation of other flu viruses shape seasonal flu epidemics. Researchers have shed new light on how viral ...
