A fossilized foot discovered in Ethiopia and left unclassified for over a decade has now been linked to a little-known human ...

Gene tree and species tree reconciliation is a pivotal framework in evolutionary biology that bridges the evolutionary histories of individual gene families with the broader context of species ...

(Reuters) -Researchers have unearthed tooth fossils in Ethiopia dating to about 2.65 million years ago of a previously unknown species in the human evolutionary lineage, one that lived in the same ...

Just as bird watchers may use binoculars to add to their species lists, scientists interested in bird evolution may use computational tools to clarify avian lineages. Indeed, such tools have enabled ...

A University of Melbourne researcher has spotted a rare evolutionary phenomenon happening rapidly in real time in bats living in the Solomon Islands. The smaller bat, Hipposideros diadema, is found ...

New research published in Nature Ecology and Evolution reveals significant recent shifts in tree diversity among the tropical ...

A single thermal performance curve applies across life, from bacteria to animals. Species differ in optimal temperatures, but ...

(THE CONVERSATION) People typically think about evolution as a linear process where, within a species, the classic adage of “survival of the fittest” is constantly at play. New DNA mutations arise and ...

Evidence is mounting that the evolution of our species is more convoluted than we imagined — more like a braided stream than a branching tree. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...
