Evolutionary plant biologists at the University of Toronto (U of T) have identified a protein that evolved approximately 500 ...

This finding is significant as it suggests similar evolutionary dynamics shaped the development of ant-plant mutualisms across these two divergent lineages, separated by more than 400 million years.

These wildly divergent skinks are giving biologists the chance to study the very basics of evolution. They have all evolved within the last 20 million years, allowing researchers to track how the ...
