Genome sequencing on nearly 4000 Darwin’s finches reveals the genetic basis of their adaptive traits.
Ever since Charles Darwin wrote about the finches of the Galápagos Islands, biologists have studied these small songbirds to understand the mechanisms of evolution. “The strength of Darwin’s finches ...
Twin Beaks Darwin's theory of evolution is widely accepted as valid, but it is usually difficult to see the process in action. A 30-year study of finches on a Galapagos island has changed all that ...
Flying squirrels, sugar gliders and bats haven’t had a common ancestor in 160 million years, but they form their wing flaps using some of the same genetic ingredients. That’s the intriguing finding ...
For Darwin, evolution was largely a thought experiment inspired by what he saw in nature, but Schluter’s work, in the field and in the lab, has revealed and fleshed out the ecological mechanisms ...
