The evolution of eukaryotic cells represents one of the most pivotal transitions in the history of life, marked by the emergence of cellular compartmentalisation and increased complexity. Central to ...

The study of Astyanax mexicanus, encompassing both its cave-adapted and surface-dwelling forms, has emerged as a model for understanding evolutionary adaptation to extreme environments. Researchers ...

"This Springer imprint is published by Springer Nature"--Verso of title page. Outgrowth of and selected papers presented at the 19th Evolutionary Biology Meeting, held in September 2015, in Marseille, ...

The rapid advances in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming biology and opening new directions for scientific inquiry.

An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

Poison frogs are small and brightly colored amphibians that originate from Central and South America. As suggested by their name, these frogs can release highly toxic chemicals from their skin, which ...

Our rapidly changing world requires experts trained in global biodiversity and its conservation. The Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology (EEOB) Option emphasizes organismal diversity, ecology, ...

It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about the behavior or nature and evolution. Now, USC researchers want to add a ...

A molecular biologist may have found a new 'rule of biology.' The rule challenges long-held notions that most living organisms prefer stability over instability because stability requires less energy ...

Academic departments in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology are increasingly aware of the need to address longstanding barriers and challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color ...

Why are there so many species of coral reef fish? According to a new study, it's because about 50 million years ago, some fish figured out how to bite food from hard surfaces.
