abstract: Crosses have revealed the species‐specific, positively correlated intensities of paternally expressed growth enhancer (GE) and maternally expressed growth suppressor (GS), which serve as a ...

Slate takes a break from endless political analysis to tackle a biological question: Can humans have sex with other animals and produce offspring? The answer: "Probably not." Um, "probably"? Oh dear.

When two organisms typically do not interbreed with one another, they are considered different species. But what are the reproductive barriers that isolate one population from another? Hear the ...

Hybrid sterility and reproductive isolation represent critical challenges for rice breeding programmes, as these biological barriers restrict the successful fusion of diverse genetic backgrounds. By ...

"A new species develops if a population which has become geographically isolated from its parental species acquires during this period of isolation characters which promote or guarantee reproductive ...

Speciation is the process by which new species forms and is the driving force of biodiversity. Since Darwin published On the Origin of Species, great efforts have been performed without interruption ...

A new study of interbreeding between two species of howler monkeys in Mexico is yielding insights into the forces that drive the evolution of new species. A new University of Michigan study of ...

A paper published by URI researchers reveals key mechanisms in speciation in corals. Critically threatened by climate change, a better understanding of coral biology will help efforts to conserve and ...
