Environmental change doesn’t affect evolution in a single, predictable way. In large-scale computer simulations, scientists ...

When scientists used AI to simulate evolution across wildly different environments, they expected patterns. What they found ...

Understanding the evolution of insect mating behavior is essential for explaining how early insects adapted to life on land.

From the Soviet-inspired Type 59 to the cutting-edge Type 99A, China’s tank development tells a story of innovation, ...

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone ...

Repeated environmental changes can lead evolution in unexpected directions, and research from Vermont shows that studying a single population does not capture the full story of an entire species. All ...

Digital evolution experiments show repeated environmental changes can push populations toward different long term outcomes.

Insects thrive in incredibly diverse and challenging environments. While we now know that nutrient-sensing pathways, ...

The battle between ant hosts and their social parasites is strongly influenced by climate. Temperature and humidity shape how the ants behave, communicate, and even evolve – while host and parasite ...

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...

Analysis of hundreds of single-cell genomes from Yellowstone National Park shows bacterial species are less cohesive than previously thought.
