Scientists reveal that a key evolutionary theory about rapid change is wrong, caused mainly by statistical noise in the data.

The shift from lizard-like sprawl to upright walking in mammals wasn’t a smooth climb up the evolutionary ladder. Instead, it ...

The transition from sprawling (reptile-like) to more upright (parasagittal) posture and locomotion was a transformative event in mammalian evolution ...

This valuable manuscript investigates the localisation of nutrient receptors in bloodstream stage trypanosomes, with implications for both nutrient uptake and immune evasion. Results after direct ...

How do living things evolve? What is the myriad of processes by which generic variations in a population affect organisms' ...

Children with acute COVID-19 and MIS-C show significant disruptions in lipid metabolism, including patterns resembling adult severe COVID-19. These findings highlight potential long-term ...

This valuable study concerns a model for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, the learned avoidance by C. elegans of the PA14 pathogenic strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A recent study ...

To evaluate how this variation affects virus evolution, the researchers compared neutralization titers with the growth rates of each viral strain during the 2023 flu season.
