Evolution in Species May Reverse Predator-Prey Population Cycles
Co-evolution in species may reverse traditional predator-prey population cycles, creating the appearance that prey are eating the predators.
Seeing Double: New Study Explains Evolution of Duplicate Genes
Researchers have shown that a process called DNA methylation can shield duplicate genes from being removed from the genome during natural selection. The redundant genes survive and are shaped by evolution over time, giving birth to new cellular funct
