Can Genes Predict Which Animals Will Survive and Adapt to Climate Change?

Researchers from the McGill University used genome sequencing to understand natural selection in real-time. Discovering that some fish like the threespine stickleback is resilient and rapidly adapts to environmental stressors can help scientists predict which animals will adapt to climate change.

Are Humans Still Evolving Today?

Since ancient times, scientists have kept track of how humans have evolved from the caveman to the modern man. In recent years, they have also uncovered what may be signs of evolution in the human body.

Is the Human Body Responsible for Coronavirus Mutations?

In a new discovery, coronavirus was found to have genetic mutations as the result of human proteins. The natural selection of the virus has allowed it to fight against mutation that may possibly be degrading it.

Climate Change Causes Red Deer Species to Give Birth at an Earlier Time

Because of climate change and its effects on the present environmental conditions, changes can be observed in the distribution of phenotypic traits or the observable and measurable trait of an individual. Finding answers as to how these mechanisms are responsible for the changes has proven to be difficult.

How the Opah Managed To Hide Its Warm Blood In Ocean Depths

This week scientists discovered the first known warm-blooded fish; except that this fish was already well-known to humans. The comically appointed opah, a large silver and red fish that is large, circular, and flat, has been making appearances in fishing nets off the coast of west Africa and Hawaii for years.
