When oceanic islands are far enough apart to permit populations to evolve in isolation, but close enough to allow occasional dispersions to occur, they are effectively outdoor laboratories of evolution.The Galapagos island chain is one of the world's greatest showcases of evolution.Each island was...

If the two populations continue to diverge, and remain isolated long enough to prevent inter-breeding, they will eventually become so different from each other that they can no longer be considered to be the same species. Separation leads to divergence leads to speciation. So did we evolve from...
It turns out that with this procedure we can indeed “adaptively evolve” to the rule above (where here we’re showing only “waypoints” of progressively greater lifetime): Different sequences of random mutations give different sequences of rules. But the re...
“Aging can have an evolutionary function if there is a selection for senescence. In our research, we aimed to uncover this selection,” says Eörs Szathmáry. “According to classical explanations, aging emerges in the populations even without selection. That is because individuals would die soon...
Why is genetic drift more common in small populations? Explain how a pedigree is used to determine how a particular human trait is inherited. Why is gene pool diversity important? How do unimportant traits evolve? Why does intraspecific trait variation matter in community ecology?
Why didn't dinosaurs evolve? Why is biodiversity declining? Why are there endangered species in grassland biomes? How has climate change affected amphibians? Why are artificial ponds not a good habitat for amphibians? Why are birds and amphibians great indicator species?
Why? There was plenty of opportunities to let me find out. I think he is either a very cruel and vindictive or evil God because no good God would ever do that to another being. I wouldn’t even do this to my worst enemy. (FP 11) ...
Why didn't cetaceans evolve gills? Why has becoming bipedal put us out of balance? Why are amphibians important to humans? Explain the reason for the decreasing effectiveness of insecticides on specific insect populations. Why do parasites kill their hosts?
