A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce ...

Laboratory evolution experiments in microbial and viral populations have provided great insight into the dynamics and predictability of evolution. The rise of high-throughput sequencing technologies ...

Darwin's other mistake / Michael R. Rose and Theodore Garland Jr. -- The importance of experimental studies in evolutionary biology / Douglas J. Futuyma and Albert F. Bennett -- Modeling experimental ...

Long-term experimental evolution in brewer’s yeast reveals how the transition to simple multicellularity can drive ecological divergence and maintain diversity. The evolution of multicellularity ...

Through a new review paper published in Nature, Georgia Tech scientists are revealing how decades-long research programs have transformed our understanding of evolution, uncovering secrets that would ...

Recent research showed that an artificially constructed self-replicating RNA system modeling primitive life at the origin of ...

Over 3,000 generations of laboratory evolution, researchers watched as their model organism, 'snowflake yeast,' began to adapt as multicellular individuals. In new research, the team shows how ...

In a one-of-a-kind experiment led by UC Berkeley researchers, biologists in Europe, the Middle East and U.S. planted 360 small plots of Arabidopsis (above) in various types of climates — from alpine ...

A major event in the evolution of organisms on earth was the development of complex, multicellular life forms made of eukaryotic cells, which are thought to have come from prokaryotic cells. Studies ...

Evolved macroscopic "snowflake" yeast from the MuLTEE experiment. The large size of the nuclei (yellow) and cells (cyan) are results of whole-genome duplication and aneuploidy. Sometimes, the most ...

The Evolution Experiment Still Running After 75,000 Generations Since the late 1980s, a simple flask of bacteria has been quietly recording the story of evolution. Across tens of thousands of ...
