Copepods, a dominant coastal species, are particularly useful for studying genetic changes in response to shifting marine environments. By studying copepods, researchers can get an ide a of how the ocean food chain might react to changes in the Earth’s climate.Tracking a copepod’s evolving ...
plants and animals all over the world, adapting their behaviors, sometimes changing their bodies, sometimes even evolving in response to climate change. not all species will have the ability to adapt quickly enough to climate change. the mouse-like bramble cay melomys in australia recently became ...
Like other species, we are the products of millions of years of adaptation. Now we're taking matters into our own hands.
In this book, Antone Martinho-Truswell explores these similarities to argue that we can learn a great deal about ourselves by thinking of the human species as 'the bird without feathers'. This is also a book about convergent evolution - evolution that drives very different species to very ...
This spark of life was the seed of every living thing we see today (as well as those we no longer see, like dinosaurs). That simplest life form, through the processes of mutation and natural selection, has been shaped into every living species on the planet. Can such a simple theory ...

This is currently the most widely-held scientific theory about the origin of birds, and it's helped shape today's view of dinosaurs as swift and agile instead of plodding and clumsy. This theropod is part of the Evolving Planet exhibit at the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois. Getty ...

aWith lucidity and elegance, Zukav explains that we are evolving from a species that pursues power based upon the perceptions of the five senses -- external power -- into a species that pursues authentic power -- power that is based upon the perceptions and values of the spirit. He shows...
