The proportion of well-adapted organisms in a population can increase over the generations by the process of evolution by natural selection.

A new study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (MPI-EB) sheds fresh light on one of the most ...

As conditions change, so does life. It evolves. Evolution is driven by a process called natural selection. And there's no better place to see how it works than in the forests of Madagascar.

Also, we can't ignore the fact that evolution by natural selection and their mechanisms underlies the incredible diversity of present-day life forms and the process of natural selection explains ...

Natural selection is the process by which some organisms in a ... and is a crucial element of the theory of evolution. A classic example of natural selection at work is the origin of giraffes ...

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes ...

Darwin viewed evolution by natural selection as a very gradual mechanism of change within populations, and postulated that new species could be the product of this very same process, but over even ...

As he himself believed, Darwin is important not because he outlined the theory of evolution by natural selection in the late 1830s, but because for the rest of his life he refined and supplemented ...

The early part of the twentieth century saw evolutionary theory embattled by disagreements over Darwin's emphasis on natural selection ... an uncomfortable fit with evolution, as many scientists ...

Evolution of a hyper-mutable locus delivers foresight Through the analysis of more than 500 mutations, the study uncovered the emergence of a localized hyper-mutable genetic mechanism in certain ...

Human evolution is far from a relic of the past, as a new study in Behavior Genetics demonstrates. By analyzing data from three generations of Americans, researchers found that natural selection is ...
