Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time the process has been observed in the wild.

A potted scarlet monkeyflower would die within a few days without water. But multiple natural populations of the species ...

The Amazon molly reproduces without sex. A genomic copy-and-paste trick called gene conversion may explain how it avoids evolutionary meltdown.

Genetics helped scarlet monkeyflower rebound after California’s megadrought — a real‑world example of rapid evolution.

Evolution is perhaps the most extraordinary story ever told—a tale spanning billions of years that connects every living thing on Earth through an intricate ...

A strange tiny species of crustacean has challenged the way we think about natural selection and evolution. This microscopic animal, known as a water flea or Daphnia pulex, generates genetic variation ...

A large-scale genomic study of koalas across eastern Australia has found that populations that went through severe 20th-century bottlenecks are already showing signs of genetic recovery, challenging ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...
