American Journal of Botany, Vol. 92, No. 11 (Nov., 2005), pp. 1899-1910 (12 pages) We estimate phylogenetic relationships and the biogeographic and pollination history of Costus subgenus Costus ...

Spatial isolation is known to promote speciation - but researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have now shown that, at least in yeast, the opposite is also true. New ecological ...

Abundant evidence supports a role for sexual selection in the evolution of reproductive isolation, and it is thus unsurprising that much attention has been given, both conceptually and empirically, to ...

Clues from fish diversity suggest that interbreeding between species could be a major mechanism of fast speciation. To biologists eager to understand how one species can split into two, the apple ...

It's a bit like a character in a movie going off and having adventures that change him so drastically that when he returns, the folks in his hometown no longer recognize the way he looks and behaves.

Professor Emeritus Eviatar Nevo, the founder and director of the Institute of Evolution at the University of Haifa in Israel, knows a thing or two about evolutionary biology, as his thousands of ...
