One-of-a-kind experiment tracks plant evolution in response to climate change at 30 sites worldwide
For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that plants will not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to a rapidly warming ...
An international team of researchers planted the same genetic lines of Arabidopsis thaliana in outdoor gardens stretching from North America to the Levant, then let natural selection run its course ...
Darwin's other mistake / Michael R. Rose and Theodore Garland Jr. -- The importance of experimental studies in evolutionary biology / Douglas J. Futuyma and Albert F. Bennett -- Modeling experimental ...
Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...
Natural evolution is a slow process that relies on the gradual accumulation of genetic mutations. In recent years, scientists have found ways to speed up the process on a small scale, allowing them to ...
One-of-a-kind experiment tracked plant evolution in response to climate change at 30 sites worldwide
In a one-of-a-kind experiment led by UC Berkeley researchers, biologists in Europe, the Middle East and U.S. planted 360 small plots of Arabidopsis (above) in various types of climates — from alpine ...
