Fungi exhibit a fascinating array of sexual reproductive strategies that play a vital role in their adaptation and evolution. Central to these processes is the mating‐type (MAT) locus, which governs ...

Scientists have discovered a sexual reproduction process in microalgae that helps them better understand algae and plant evolution. Their discovery could lead to new industrial applications for ...

Two novel hypotheses have been proposed that address the 'two-fold cost of sex': one of the biggest enigmas in the evolution of sexual reproduction. Two novel hypotheses have been proposed that ...

Studying a species of beetle mite, an international research team has demonstrated for the first time that animals can survive over very long periods of time (possibly millions of years) entirely ...

A team led by biologists at The University of Texas at Arlington has published a study supporting the theory that species that reproduce asexually have more harmful genetic mutations than those ...

Two novel hypotheses have been proposed that address the “two-fold cost of sex”: one of the biggest enigmas in the evolution of sexual reproduction. The evolution of sexual reproduction in living ...
