What is ecological speciation? -- Predictions and tests of ecological speciation -- A source of divergent selection -- A form of reproductive isolation -- A genetic mechanism to link selection to ...

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 ...

Female giant water bugs lay their eggs on a male's back after mating and the male takes care of the eggs until the nymphs are hatched, a couple of weeks later. A study led by Dr. Tomoya Suzuki of ...

How do new species form? Like most areas of Evolutionary Biology, research related to the formation of new species - 'speciation ' - is rich in historical and current debate. Here, we review both ...

Hendry's team observed that male river sockeyes are slimmer than their lake counterparts (to better deal with the river's strong current), while the female river sockeye are larger than their beach ...
