Population genetics explores the distribution and change in frequency of alleles within and between populations, while genetic diversity underpins the capacity of species to adapt to environmental ...

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

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.

Koalas suffered a massive population decline that left them with dangerously low genetic diversity. However, new genomic research suggests their rapid rebound may be helping reverse some of that ...

Part One. The basics of population genetics -- Part Two. Complex genetic systems -- Part Three. Special topics in evolution -- Part Four. Evolutionary ecology of single populations -- Part Five.

An analysis of ancient and modern DNA suggests the extent of convergent evolution in different peoples around the world is ...

A research team led by scientists at the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, Brazil, has completed the most extensive genetic sequencing of a jararaca viper to date. The focus of the study was the genome ...

Professor Graham Coop, Department of Evolution and Ecology and Director of the Center for Population Biology, has been elected as a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his work on ...

Understanding biological relationships is often critical when studying animal populations. Researchers have now developed a transformative approach that identifies stretches of DNA that two ...
