Understanding this phenomenon allowed him to develop his concept of “natural selection” which, in turn, became a core element of his theory of evolution. Darwin observed that with such abundance, ...

Animals also choose their mates, sometimes with a great deal of care. Mating systems are important to understand because they reflect the result of natural selection on mate choice, and ultimately ...

In animals like the noolbenger/honey possum, females are highly promiscuous, forcing males to evolve some impressive anatomical changes. Charles Darwin's work in natural selection was pivotal to our ...

Precise animal model selection proved vital for this project, which combined complex 3D imaging technology and analysis via machine learning. “Taconic has really robust models for Alzheimer’s ...

We use large phenotype and pedigree data sets in different livestock and companion animal species to quantify the genetic variation in important traits, and to analyze selection priorities among ...

providing important insights into the relationship between the cost of gamete production and sexual selection. Working out the kinks of mating in the animal kingdom helps to gain insights into the ...
