Giraffes are a beautiful and powerful example of what adaptive evolution can achieve. However, in recent years they have attained notoriety for a completely different reason: it has been suggested ...

Natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow do not act in isolation, so we must consider how the interplay among these mechanisms influences evolutionary trajectories in natural populations.

The traffic of genes among populations may help living things better adapt to climate change, especially when genes flow among groups most affected by warming, according to a UC Davis study of the ...

Gene flow—the transfer of genetic material between populations or species—plays a critical role in shaping biodiversity by influencing speciation, adaptation, and genetic divergence. This project will ...
