In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary processes ...

Sexual selection can promote adaptation if sexually selected traits are reliable indicators of genetic quality. Moreover, models of good genes sexual selection suggest that, by operating more strongly ...

For millennia, evolution has intrigued many great thinkers, prompting questions about how new traits emerge as species adapt over time. Then, attention shifted to natural selection and the inheritance ...

Guerra, Vanessa, I., Haynes, Gwilym, Byrne, Maria, and Hart, Michael W. 2021. "Selection on genes associated with the evolution of divergent life histories: Gamete ...

Tumors and swarms of disease-carrying insects may not seem to have much in common, until you try to destroy them. Pesticide by pesticide, or chemotherapeutic by chemotherapeutic, the very thing you’re ...

Researchers have found a way to reprogram disease evolution and design tumors that are easier to treat. They created a modular genetic circuit that turns cancer cells into a 'Trojan horse,' causing ...
