Although there is mounting evidence that genetic adaptation to captivity occurs rapidly for many different organisms and can affect strongly the fitness of reintroduced individuals (Hedrick and ...

Genetic architecture of adaptation is traditionally studied in the context of local adaptation, viz. spatially varying conditions experienced by the species. However, anthropogenic changes in the ...

Using whole genome sequencing and cutting‐edge analyses, researchers at Stockholm University have uncovered the surprising ...

西北农林科技大学动物科技学院反刍动物遗传与进化研究中心在反刍动物瘤胃进化研究领域取得了新进展，并以“Modes of genetic adaptations underlying ...

However, Ary Hoffmann, the chair of ecological genetics at the University of Melbourne, cautioned that there are challenges in attributing changes in genomes to climate change adaptation.

Organisms across the world show unique adaptations that enable them to survive and flourish in distinct environments. Researchers at the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory are studying stickleback fish to ...

This is the first time a genetic adaptation to diving has been tracked in humans. Ilardo added, "until now it has been entirely unknown whether Sea Nomad populations genetically adapt to their ...

India’s complex ancestry—intertwined with Iranian farmers, Steppe herders, and local hunter-gatherers—has now been decoded through genomic data from 2,762 people. The study uncovers surprising levels ...

NAIROBI ― Understanding the genetic traits of chimpanzees and how they help them adapt to unique conditions in different habitats is critical to maintaining their resilience and ensuring long ...

The study, published by PLoS Genetics, also reveals that this genetic adaptation may have predisposed modern humans to neuropsychiatric disorders. Modern humans left Africa some 60,000 years ago ...

Chimpanzees bear genetic adaptations that help them thrive in their different forest and savannah habitats, some of which may protect against malaria, according to a study by an international team ...
