By doing it, the slugs are effectively bypassing traditional evolution ... t resulted in any new dog species (cocker spaniels and poodles can still interbreed, for example) but merely a bunch ...

A new UC study has looked at the evolutionary significance of super genes and their potential role in species survival.

These same evolutionary changes can also result in the populations evolving into separate species. For example, adaptation to different environments might cause differences between populations in ...

this property of evolving together does not apply to kinds of organisms above the species level. For example, birds are not evolving all together. There are many separate species of birds ...

Some critics of the theory of evolution argue that it doesn't ... A well-studied example of a ring species is the salamander Ensatina escholtzii of the Pacific Coast region of the United States.

in a very rare example of parallel evolution. It's so rare that it is the first time parallel evolution has been seen in real ...

But this adaptation is now outdated.© Wendy Cutler via Flickr (CC BY-NC 2.0) Selection for adaptation is not the only cause of evolution. For example, species change can be caused by neutral mutations ...

That is, species are generally stable ... questions for further research. What, for example, are the processes that produce rapid evolution? Population genetic studies show us that small changes ...

Species behaviour has the potential to lead morphological evolution, by placing the organism under novel selection pressures. Many adaptations of living species could have originated in this way, ...
