Evolutionary biology is a subdiscipline of the biological sciences concerned with the origin of life and the diversification and adaptation of life forms over time. Latest Research and Reviews Functional genomics implicatesebonyin the black pupae phenotype of tephritid fruit flies ...
Evolutionary Biology is a comprehensive forum dedicated to publishing critical reviews, original research, and controversial ideas in the field of evolutionary biology. Committed to the view that evolutionary theory is a unifying framework for the biosciences. Offers a platform for broad syntheses, in...
Evolutionary divergence between homologous X–Y chromosome genes shapes sex-biased biology Based on co-expression fingerprint analysis between homologous genes in the X and Y chromosomes (gametolog pairs) across >40 human tissues, the authors suggest that X and Y gametologs have diverged in ...
Evolutionary psychology is a contemporary branch of psychological science based on principles of evolutionary biology, particularly Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection. Yet, it is based on ideas of human evolution proposed by evolutionary biologists that go back at least to the 1800s. Evolut...
they yield contrasting diversities and shifts in morphospace. Taxa that strongly break the tradeoff, locally in time and space or as a fixed aspect of their biology, may exhibit prolific diversifications. Flowering plants, phytophagous insects, and colubrid snakes have been held to fall into this...

Economic development requires endogenous novelties, according to evolutionary economics. To find the endogenous source of novelties, we focus on the creati
SPOUT methyltransferases (MTases) are a large class of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent enzymes that exhibit an unusual alpha/beta fold with a very deep topological knot. In 2001, when no crystal structures were available for any of these proteins, Anan
The dual jaw joint of Morganucodon1,2 consists of the dentary–squamosal joint laterally and the articular–quadrate one medially. The articular–quadrate joint and its associated post-dentary bones constitute the precursor of the mammalian middle ear. F
