By understanding natural selection, we can learn why some plants produce cyanide, why rabbits produce so many offspring, how animals first emerged from the ocean to live on land, and how some mammals ...
Researchers of the Hubei University of Medicine, China, have analyzed several mutations in different variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from mammal species that ...
Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 58, No. 12 (2007), pp. 3091-3097 (7 pages) The adaptation of plants to natural environments depends on the adaptation of flowering-time control at the appropriate ...
An important finding of these studies was that inbreeding depression was expressed not only in seed production (female fitness) but also in pollen production (male fitness). They also uncovered ...
The Indigenous peoples of the Bolivian highlands are survivors. For thousands of years they have lived at altitudes of more than two miles, where oxygen is about 35 percent lower than at sea level.
We tend to assume that all characteristics of plants and animals are adaptations that have arisen through natural selection. Many are neither adaptations nor the result of selection at all. Why do so ...
Biologists working with the most sophisticated genetic tools are demonstrating that natural selection plays a greater role in the evolution of genes than even most evolutionists had thought Some ideas ...
