The study blends math, statistics and biology to show that this long-held hyperbolic pattern is an anomaly because it doesn't account for the fact that all species on earth are defined as much by ...

In 1859, Charles Darwin coined the term “living fossils” to describe organisms that show little species diversity or physical differences from their ancestors in the fossil record. In a new study, ...

Joseph L. Graves Jr. offers a memoir and more in ‘A Voice in the Wilderness’ It’s both good and bad that the first Black American to earn a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology is not a long-ago hidden ...

It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about the behavior or nature and evolution. Now, USC researchers want to add a ...

Sometimes, Darwinian natural selection stumbles upon the same solution more than once, in a process known as convergent evolution. Here are our favorite examples of evolution making the same creature, ...

The ecology and evolutionary biology (EBIO) graduate program provides advanced training in a wide variety of biological disciplines ranging from biogeochemistry to community ecology to evolutionary ...

This page outlines the 2022-23 degree requirements for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. This page is not an official list of degree requirements. Adjustments may be required due to curriculum changes ...

Mutation: it’s the raw material for evolution. That makes knowing the rate at which it occurs crucial to the study of evolutionary biology. Mutation rate figures into all kinds of calculations. For ...

Charles Darwin believed evolution created “endless forms most beautiful.” It’s a nice sentiment, but it doesn’t explain why evolution keeps making crabs. Scientists have long wondered whether there ...
