Abstract. Coleoid cephalopods have convergently evolved many traits shared with vertebrates, including camera-type eyes, large brain-to-body size ratios, a

Climate change is increasingly disrupting the relationship between locally adapted populations and the environments in which they evolved, creating an urgent need for tools that connect genomic variat...

The relative importance of genetic drift versus selection to evolutionary change has long been debated. This debate has mainly focused over long-time-scales (e.g. hundreds of thousands of generations)...

and some very useful numbers about human genomes to get you started!

In avocado and certain wild relatives in Lauraceae, a highly synchronized daily rhythm of floral sex timing promotes cross-pollination between two ...

Author summary Proteins fold into three-dimensional structures that are essential for their function. Because these structures depend on interactions among amino acids, the fitness effect of a mutatio...

Even with federal grants largely restored, scientists say the Trump administration is still preventing those funds from reaching them. The consequences, they say, are already becoming clear.

Abstract. Hybridization has many and varied impacts on the process of speciation. Hybridization may slow or reverse differentiation by allowing gene flow a

The extent to which human adaptations have persisted throughout history despite strong eroding demographic events such as admixture, genetic drift,...

The National Academy of Sciences has elected Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra, professor in the Department of Evolution and Ecology at University of California, Davis, as a member. His election was announced April...
