Evolution just broke its own logic, a new biology rule may follow
Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it ...
The Cambrian Explosion in which life on Earth underwent massive diversification was likely triggered by eccentricities in Earth’s orbit around our Sun. Or so say the authors of a new paper just ...
Four billion years ago, Earth was violent, hot, and unstable. Yet new research suggests that by then, life had already ...
A landmark study into the geological timescale distribution of sediment and nutrients over 500 million years shows that species biodiversity on Earth is driven by landscape dynamics. Movement of ...
A study involving the University of Cambridge has used virtual recreations of the earliest animal ecosystems, known as marine animal forests, to demonstrate the part they played in the evolution of ...
The history of life on Earth is marked by cyclic periods of explosive evolution. But, until recently, the mechanisms behind these bursts of biodiversity were largely unknown. Now, researchers have ...
