My colleague and I have published a new study of cactus flowers which may help explain the conundrum. For more than a century ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

A long-disputed rule in biology says bigger is better, but a new computer model illuminates why that’s not necessarily true. By Lauren Leffer Published Jan 18, 2024 11:45 AM EST Add Popular Science ...

The human ability to cook may seem ordinary, but it marks one of the most important evolutionary turning points in our ...

A new study conducted by the Institute for Biology Education has concluded that the way in which supporting knowledge of key evolutionary findings is taught in biology lessons influences the entire ...

A new study shows cultural evolution helped humans expand across Earth far faster than genetic change alone could achieve.

Ever since scientists first read the complete genetic codes of creatures like fruit flies and humans more than two decades ago, the field of genomics has promised major leaps forward in understanding ...

The 30 credit interdisciplinary major consists of three foundation courses, one senior seminar, one course in ecology, one in the philosophy/history of science, and four approved electives. In ...

Selection in Assembly Space. (A) Pictorial representation of the assembly space represents the formation of combinatorial object space from building blocks and physical constraints. (B) Observed copy ...

Assembly theory bridges the gap between physics and biology in explaining how complex objects are identifiable as products of evolution and how reusability of parts allows novelty and identical ...
