In tropical climates, lizards are everywhere. It can be a bit wild to see, and they come in all shapes and sizes. They seem a tad superfluous in such large varieties leaving one to wonder, what ...

Some colourful lizards and a mathematical formula from the finance sector have been used to build a new framework to model evolution. Developed by Dr Simone Blomberg from The University of ...

Some colourful lizards and a mathematical formula from the finance sector have been used to build a new framework to model evolution. The framework is the first mathematical model to combine ...

An updated evolutionary model shows that living systems evolve in a split-and-hit-the-gas dynamic, where new lineages appear in sudden bursts rather than during a long marathon of gradual changes.

The study blends math, statistics and biology to show that this long-held hyperbolic pattern is an anomaly because it doesn't account for the fact that all species on earth are defined as much by ...

For decades, researchers have observed that rates of evolution seem to accelerate over short time periods – say five million years versus fifty million years. This broad pattern has suggested that ...

Ever since Charles Darwin published his landmark theory of how species evolve, biologists have been fascinated with the intricate mechanisms that make evolution possible. Can mechanisms responsible ...

On Nov. 11, the Lewiston Tribune published a letter to the editor that stated intelligent design is a front for creationism. The writer wanted only the failing theory of macroevolution to be ...
