Evolved macroscopic "snowflake" yeast from the MuLTEE experiment. The large size of the nuclei (yellow) and cells (cyan) are results of whole-genome duplication and aneuploidy. Sometimes, the most ...

Image showing predation of fluorescently labeled Serratia marcescens KZ19 by Tetrahymena thermophila Surprisingly, a large number of mutations occurred at the same site or in the same gene across ...

When males are forced to compete for females, new species form more rapidly. This has been shown in a new study where the researchers compared beetles allowed to mate freely with groups of the same ...

Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab. Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by ...

How small a canvas can evolution work on? Scientists have experimented with a synthetic lifeform designed to have the simplest possible genome, and found that given the chance it can evolve lost ...

Measuring the pace of evolution is tricky, but some species can evolve as quickly as a few generations. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...
