The Cornell Lab of Ornithology today announced the release of a new online tool for studying biodiversity and the ...
Progress and perspectives of the deep non-bilaterian phylogeny, with focus on sponges (Phylum Porifera) / Gert Wörheide, Tetyana Nosenko, Fabian Schreiber, and Burkhard Morgenstern -- Phylogenetics ...
New research headed by scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) has demonstrated how the three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary ...
Aim: Mapping the distribution and diversity of plant functional traits is critical for projecting future changes to vegetation under global change. Maps of plant functional traits, however, are scarce ...
Birds are the only dinosaur lineage that survived until today. About 66 million years ago at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary, a mass extinction event destroyed all non-avian dinosaurs, ...
The new model focuses on phylogenetic diversity, which is very different from counting species, today's standard measure of biodiversity. The same number of species (three blue circles) can have a ...
An analysis of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes finds that recombination of the virus is uncommon, but when it occurs, it is most often in the spike protein region, the area which allows the virus to ...
