Male genitalia are among the most phenotypically variable of morphological traits. Sexual selection is widely believed to be responsible for this pattern of rapid and divergent evolution 1,2,3, and ...

Physically interacting proteins or parts of proteins are expected to evolve in a coordinated manner that preserves proper interactions. Such coevolution at the amino acid-sequence level is well ...

During the struggle for survival, populations occasionally evolve new functions that give them access to untapped ecological opportunities. Theory suggests that coevolution between species can promote ...

While women have been and continue to be underrepresented in science (World Economic Forum, 2023; UNESCO, 2024), they have been integral to advancing the field of evolution as well as the subfield of ...

Kin selection theory predicts that individuals should evolve to help their relatives. However, Crozier’s paradox suggests that using genetic markers (tags) to recognize relatives will be ...

Engineering proteins and enzymes with the desired functionality has broad applications in molecular biology, biotechnology, biomedical sciences, health, and medicine. The vastness of protein sequence ...

A long-standing problem in the study of mutualism is to understand the effects of non-mutualistic community members that exploit the benefits of mutualism without offering commodities in exchange (i.e ...
