A new study co-authored by researchers at Indiana University sheds light on how the forces that shape mountain ranges also influence the evolution of species. In the study, "Direct effects of mountain ...
This month, George Tiley began his NC State appointment as an assistant professor of plant and microbial biology. Right before his Aug. 1 start date, Tiley and colleagues published a Perspectives ...
EuroWorm is building an open genomic inventory of European marine annelids to combat biodiversity loss and accelerate species discovery.
Antarctica’s marine realm is a dynamic mosaic where extreme environmental conditions have driven remarkable evolutionary processes. The isolation imposed by frigid temperatures and the formidable ...
You might think of ants as being everywhere all the time, but it turns out they live in nine distinct areas of the planet. For the first time, researchers have mapped the "biogeographic realms" where ...
In some of the planet's darkest and most complex aquatic environments, conventional sensors struggle to see, hear, or survive ...
Phylogenetics and conservation biology : drawing a path into the diversity of life / Roseli Pellens and Philippe Grandcolas -- Questions. The value of phylogenetic diversity / Christopher Lean and ...
The biodiversity of the Earth’s oceans is disproportionately concentrated in coral reefs — the vibrant undersea ecosystems where thousands of known marine species reside. A new Yale-led study offers ...
"Why and how did life become so diverse? This has been a central problem in biology. Experimen-tal Evolution and the Nature of Biodiversity explores how diversity evolves in microbial popula-tions ...

Exchange of genetic diversity between species accelerates evolutionary adaptation in songbirds
Climate change is rapidly altering our environment—and posing major challenges for many animal species. Whether they can adapt depends largely on their genetic diversity. An international study ...
Beyond biodiversity conservation, the project is expected to support crop improvement in a changing climate. By mining genes crucial for disease resistance, drought and salt tolerance, researchers ...
