Researchers have found that chunks of "flipped" DNA can help fish quickly adapt to new habitats and evolve into new species, acting as evolutionary "superchargers." CABI has published a "Guide to the ...

Periods of deep, clear water in Lake Malawi over the past 800,000 years coincide with bursts of species diversification, researchers show in a new report. Africa's Lake Malawi is home to hundreds of ...

Is evolution predictable? What are the mechanisms that allow different fish to respond to the same environmental challenge in slightly different ways? When the same jaw bones and muscles change to ...

Animals are remarkably diverse in their sleep and activity patterns due to foraging strategies, social behavior and their desire to avoid predators. With more than 3,000 types of cichlids, these ...
