The study sheds light on the evolutionary adaptations that allow snow leopards to thrive in one of the world's most ...

To reconstruct the environmental conditions during the time of Homo erectus, the research team used advanced modeling ...

A new study outlines the ways by which city life may be shaping the evolution of urban coyotes, the highly adaptable ...

"Our results show that major initial adaptations are predictable, and as evolution progresses, this ability is lost," he ...

The adaptations of organisms allow them to thrive in different habitats, including extreme environments. Evolution explains how better adapted organisms have an advantage and are more likely to ...

Scientists have identified fossils of snow leopards. The discovery has allowed them to trace the evolutionary history of the species during the Quaternary period and to propose how it dispersed from ...

Are you lactose intolerant? Many people are. In fact, the ability to digest lactose may be an example of adaptive evolution in the human lineage. Although the study of natural selection in humans ...

Homo erectus was able to adapt to and survive in desert-like environments at least 1.2 million years ago, according to a paper published in Communications Earth & ...

A team at the University of Calgary is making scientific advances in understanding plant adaptation, which could ultimately ...

Now the next step: evolution. The Grants found that the offspring of the birds that survived the 1977 drought tended to be larger, with bigger beaks. So the adaptation to a changed environment led ...
