Scientists report adaptive divergence in cryptic color pattern is underlain by two distinct, complex chromosomal rearrangements, where millions of bases of DNA were flipped backwards and moved from ...

Understanding the material basis of adaptive evolution has been a central goal in biology dating back to at least the time of ...

In a new paper, Jordan Jensen and Alexis Ault introduce a new forensic tool designed to enhance our understanding of how unconformities form. Iron oxide minerals are found in rocks around the world.

“The new phased genomic assembly technology used in this study was a critical piece in helping us examine how color pattern evolved in these insects,” says Gompert, professor in USU’s ...
