A team of scientists from Princeton University and Uppsala University detail their findings of how gene flow between two species of Darwin’s finches has affected their beak morphology in the May 4 ...

How important is gene flow for maintaining a species' identity and diversity, and what are the implications of these processes for evolution, conservation of endangered species, invasiveness ...

The study illustrates the genetic foundation of evolution, including how genes can flow from one species to another, and how different versions of a gene within a species can contribute to the ...

In this scenario, the deleterious allele will remain at an intermediate equilibrium frequency that reflects the balance between gene flow and natural selection. The common conception of evolution ...

Songbirds who make the arduous flight from their nesting sites in northern boreal forests to warm, southern climates in the ...

Modern humans were essentially like waves crashing on a beach, slowly but steadily eroding the beach away.” With this vivid ...

Giraffes are a beautiful and powerful example of what adaptive evolution can achieve ... we started getting results from our analyses of gene flow between different giraffe lineages, we had ...

Under normal conditions, genes in a given population are exchanged through breeding, so that even if some variation occurs, it is limited by this "gene flow." But gene flow is interrupted if the ...

Evolution is a process ... what proportions–this unfolds the quickest in small populations. There’s gene flow, where individuals and populations migrate, bringing their genetic material ...
