Study of 280 empirical papers suggests evolution is shaped by both individual advantage and competition between groups.
When most people think about natural selection, they imagine individuals competing with one another: The fastest animal escapes predators, the strongest plant produces more seeds, and the most ...
LOGAN, UTAH, USA - Is evolution predictable? Are changes in a species random or do they happen because of natural selection? "Evolution often appears random, even when driven by the deterministic ...
New research challenges the one-level view of evolution, showing natural selection works on individuals and groups together.
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 ...
Most of us know that as living things evolve, they take on traits that help them thrive in their home environments. But how are certain traits "chosen" for future generations, and how are others cast ...
Antibiotic resistance, when infection-causing bacteria evolve so they are no longer affected by typical antibiotics, is a global concern. New research at the University of Tokyo has mapped the ...
MSU research suggests natural selection can slow evolution, maintain similarities across generations
New research from Michigan State University suggests that natural selection, famous for rewarding advantageous differences in organisms, can also preserve similarities. Reporting in the journals New ...
