The study blends math, statistics and biology to show that this long-held hyperbolic pattern is an anomaly because it doesn't account for the fact that all species on earth are defined as much by ...

It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about the behavior or nature and evolution. Now, USC researchers want to add a ...

A reduced genome in an island species raises evolutionary questions.

1. Matters of life and death -- 2. Evolution's visible hands -- 3. Hunting and fishing -- 4. Eradication -- 5. Altering environments -- 6. Evolution revolution -- 7. Intentional evolution -- 8.

A new study conducted by the Institute for Biology Education has concluded that the way in which supporting knowledge of key evolutionary findings is taught in biology lessons influences the entire ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

A chance discovery in a Vermont cheese cave has given scientists a rare glimpse of evolution unfolding in real time – and the unexpected findings have broad implications for protecting human health, ...

"Why and how did life become so diverse? This has been a central problem in biology. Experimen-tal Evolution and the Nature of Biodiversity explores how diversity evolves in microbial popula-tions ...

The program in Evolutionary Biology is designed to provide students with knowledge of macro- and micro-evolutionary processes underlying the evolution and diversification of life on Earth and an ...

The ecology and evolutionary biology (EBIO) graduate program provides advanced training in a wide variety of biological disciplines ranging from biogeochemistry to community ecology to evolutionary ...
