palaeontology and comparative anatomy (see interactive graphic). Darwin also found evidence for his theory in examples of convergent evolution, co-evolution and adaptive radiation.

A study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals a surprising evolutionary insight: sometimes, losing genes rather ...

Evolution in action : case studies in adaptive radiation, speciation and the origin of biodiversity / Matthias Glaubrecht, editor ; in cooperation with Harald Schneider ...

Rapid adaptive radiation poses two distinct questions apart from speciation and adaptation: What happens after one speciation event and how do some lineages continue speciating through a rapid burst?

A new study examining stick and leaf insect species has found evidence of convergent evolution, with all of the insects evolving similar characteristics despite diverging long ago.

A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team showed that a group of highly divergent mammals known as Afrotheria and ...

This suggests that neutral (non-adaptive) evolution may be more important in shaping inner ear morphology than previously thought. A new study of the inner ears of a diverse group of mammals sheds ...

A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team led by Nicole Grunstra from the University of Vienna and Anne Le Maître ...
