"Our results emphasize the role of manipulative abilities in brain evolution and reveal how neural and bodily adaptations are interconnected in primate evolution," the researchers conclude in the ...

A diverse group of lizards known as the social skinks is helping scientists answer questions about some of the fundamental workings of evolution. Skinks are a large group of lizards that typically ...

A paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds that the relatively high rate of autism-spectrum disorders in humans is likely due to how humans evolved in the past. The paper is titled "A general ...

A molecular biologist may have found a new 'rule of biology.' The rule challenges long-held notions that most living organisms prefer stability over instability because stability requires less energy ...

Our rapidly changing world requires experts trained in global biodiversity and its conservation. The EEOB Option emphasizes organismal diversity, ecology, and evolution in courses with outdoor field ...

Academic departments in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology are increasingly aware of the need to address longstanding barriers and challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color ...

A biochemist, building on the pillars of evolutionary theory and drawing on cutting-edge research into the link between energy and genes, argues that the evolution of multicellular life was the result ...
