This volume is based on the Arthur M. Sackler Colloquium of the National Academy of Sciences, “In the Light of Evolution I: Adaptation and Complex Design,” held December 1-2, 2006, at the Arnold and ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the evolution of a specific photosynthesis mechanism in Tillandsia (air plants). This sheds light on the complex ...

As global warming accelerates, extreme heat waves are causing widespread death of tropical reef corals. Most corals rely on ...

Uncovering the genetic saga of Castanea trees, a pivotal study maps their evolutionary journey and local climate adaptations. This research pierces through the veil of time to reveal the genetic ...

Supraordinal relationships of primates and their time of origin -- A molecular classification for the living orders of placental mammals and the phylogenetic placement of primates / MS Springer, WJ ...

A significant study has mapped the genetic complexity of Populus cathayana, an ecologically and economically valuable poplar species. By creating a detailed genome assembly and analyzing genetic ...

A detailed genomic investigation of a Denver Zoo outbreak shows how SARS-CoV-2 can rapidly diversify and adapt after crossing species, offering a rare real-world view of viral evolution beyond humans.

Program in Ecology and Evolution Faculty & Emeritus represent many different departments and offer diverse expertise and interests, but all share a core commitment to research and graduate training in ...
