Researchers have discovered that plants benefit from a greater variety of interactions with pollinators and herbivores. Plants that are pollinated by insects and have to defend themselves against ...
A new discovery from researchers at Northeastern University has uncovered previously unknown aspects of plant evolution, with major implications for creating new lifesaving drugs. The researchers' ...
Urban environments have become hotspots for understanding how rapid evolution occurs in response to extreme environmental changes. These habitats exert selective pressures on resident organisms that ...
A moss gene previously thought to have been inactive actually plays a key role in its evolutionary success, researchers from ...
An international team of researchers, including three New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) scientists, used genetic code from more than 9,500 flowering plant species to create the most detailed ...
Moss is usually thought of as one of nature's simplest plants. It carpets rocks, clings to tree trunks and quietly survives ...
A deep genetic mystery has baffled plant scientists for decades. Although leaves, stems, and flowers develop in strikingly similar ways across many plant species, scientists have struggled to identify ...
Origins and early events -- The invasion of land and air -- Population genetics, adaptation, and evolution -- Development and evolution -- Speciation and microevolution -- Macroevolution -- The ...
