Plant science research has increasingly shifted focus toward understanding the complex mechanisms that enable crops to withstand abiotic stresses such as ...

A landmark finding that suggests koala genetic diversity not the only deciding factor in successful regrowth of populations.

In a first-of-its-kind experiment tracing evolution across 25 generations, scientists have discovered that marine copepods—the tiny crustaceans at the heart of the ocean food web—rely on a largely ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...
