Analysis of hundreds of single-cell genomes from Yellowstone National Park shows bacterial species are less cohesive than previously thought.

Woodrats weigh less than half a pound but can survive venomous rattlesnake bites that would hospitalize, or even kill, a full ...

Two new studies show how climate influences behavior, communication, and genome evolution—driving adaptation in a long-running conflict.

When a snake displays its fangs, it’s showing off one of evolution’s greatest weapons. This is because snake venom is not a single toxin, but actually a swirling cocktail of dozens to hundreds of ...

ABSTRACT: Parasites affect their hosts by disrupting physiological functions or by reproducing excessively. This study aimed to assess the role of rodent ectoparasites in the transmission of zoonotic ...

Abstract: Differential evolution (DE) is an evolutionary algorithm widely used to solve optimization problems with different characteristics in fields where actions and decisions depend on numerical ...

The crude view of evolution is often stark: a struggle for life in the wilderness, dominated by the strong, the cunning, the fierce, or the exquisitely camouflaged. And yet, who thrives today? Dogs.

Two major goals in machine learning are the discovery and improvement of solutions to complex problems. In this paper, we argue that complexification, i.e. the incremental elaboration of solutions ...

The relationship between protein dynamics and function is essential for understanding biological processes and developing effective therapeutics. Functional sites within proteins are critical for ...

It has been suggested that the human species may be undergoing an evolutionary transition in individuality (ETI). But there is disagreement about how to apply the ETI framework to our species, and ...

ABSTRACT: Bactrocera dorsalis is one of the major constraints on the mango industry in Burkina Faso. To control these insect pests, a number of control methods have been used, including synthetic ...
