Evolution and the diversity of life: by E. Mayr, published by Harvard University Press, 1976. 15. (ix + 721 pages)EvolutionI have mentioned already the evolutionary stability of certain blue-green algae that hav
Evolution, a foundational concept in biology, explains the vast diversity of life on Earth through the gradual change in species over time. The theory, primarily attributed to Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, posits that natural selection acts on variations within populations, leading to the...
The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life. 如关键词所阐述,这个Big Idea的重点是进化(evolution)以及进化带来的影响(diversity and unity) 在进化方面,考察的内容包括达尔文的自然选择学说(群体基因频率的变化),随机事件对基因频率的影响(genetic drift),遗传平衡(Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium),...
The most striking feature of Life on Earth is its diversity, and the fields of ecology and evolution are central to understanding how biodiversity arose, how it is maintained, what are its consequences, and how we should conserve it. Evolution is the unifying concept that runs through all the...
Nature Ecology & Evolution publishes the highest quality research, reviews and comment in all areas of ecology and evolution, including conservation biology and palaeontology.

Early life-history traits of all 19 anguillid eel species and subspecies were examined to help understand the evolutionary processes of their oceanic migrations in comparison with their migration distances and the geography of their species ranges. Tropical species were found to have fewer myomeres, ...
观念1.2 核心主题:演化解释了生命的统一和多样性(CONCEPT 1.2 The Core Theme: Evolution accounts for the unity and diversity of life) 演化(EVOLUTION)对演化的理解帮助我们理解已知的地球上生命的一切。正如化石记录清楚地表明,生命已经演化了数十亿年,导致了过去和现在生物的庞大多样性。但除了多样性之外,还存在...
Island faunas can be characterized by gigantism in small animals and dwarfism in large animals, but the extent to which this so-called ‘island rule’ provides a general explanation for evolutionary trajectories on islands remains contentious. Here we us
Evolution, theory in biology postulating that the various types of living things on Earth have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations. The theory of evolution is
