A novel iLDS statistic uncovers adaptive gene sweeps in gut bacteria, highlighting evolutionary responses to modern diets and enhancing microbiome studies.

In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary processes ...

Sexual selection can promote adaptation if sexually selected traits are reliable indicators of genetic quality. Moreover, models of good genes sexual selection suggest that, by operating more strongly ...

For millennia, evolution has intrigued many great thinkers, prompting questions about how new traits emerge as species adapt over time. Then, attention shifted to natural selection and the inheritance ...

Accurately predicting complex agronomic traits remains a major bottleneck in crop breeding. This study demonstrates how ...

Tumors and swarms of disease-carrying insects may not seem to have much in common, until you try to destroy them. Pesticide by pesticide, or chemotherapeutic by chemotherapeutic, the very thing you’re ...

Even as humpbacks rebound in number, their genomes reveal a loss of genetic diversity and a buildup of harmful mutations left ...

A new study challenges what's long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness.

In just a few decades, screens have become an integral part of almost everything we do. Whether we're doomscrolling through our feeds, jumping on a video call for work, or taking an online class in ...
