Researchers observed beetles across 200 generations and noted that evolution was amped up when strong sexual selection was ...

Abundant evidence supports a role for sexual selection in the evolution of reproductive isolation, and it is thus unsurprising that much attention has been given, both conceptually and empirically, to ...

Spatial isolation is known to promote speciation - but researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have now shown that, at least in yeast, the opposite is also true. New ecological ...

A paper published by URI researchers reveals key mechanisms in speciation in corals. Critically threatened by climate change, a better understanding of coral biology will help efforts to conserve and ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We develop a model for speciation due to postzygotic incompatibility generated by autoimmune reactions. The model is based on ...

Clues from fish diversity suggest that interbreeding between species could be a major mechanism of fast speciation. To biologists eager to understand how one species can split into two, the apple ...

It's a bit like a character in a movie going off and having adventures that change him so drastically that when he returns, the folks in his hometown no longer recognize the way he looks and behaves.

Professor Emeritus Eviatar Nevo, the founder and director of the Institute of Evolution at the University of Haifa in Israel, knows a thing or two about evolutionary biology, as his thousands of ...
