Walking stick insects illustrate new evidence of "parallel evolution"
U.S. Army Research Office funding to Lynch, Foster approaches $13 million since 2010.
Unique research by UC Riverside biologists on wild anole lizards reveals new insights on how animals might adapt to their habitat and handle various forms of motion
New research from Northeastern University suggests another, darker origin behind the kindly act of fairness.
For years, researchers have worked to develop novel molecules for therapeutic or research purposes, and have relied on directed evolution as a powerful technique for generating molecules that exhibit the properties they want.
The study applied new numerical methods that calculate the rate of evolution of different characteristics across a whole evolutionary tree.
One of science's strongest dogmas is that complex life on Earth could only evolve when oxygen levels in the atmosphere rose to close to modern levels. But now studies of a small sea sponge fished out of a Danish Fjord shows that complex life does not need high levels of oxygen in order to live and grow.
