Single Gene APETALA3-3 Contributes to the Sudden Evolutionary Change in Such Species

Medicine & Technology Feb 21, 2022

When Charles Darwin initially codified the theory of evolution by means of natural selection, he thought of the evolutionary change in flowers and plants as "gradual." He said they see nothing of these slow changes in progress.

The crater detection algorithm "automatically counts the visible impact craters" from a high-resolution image, a planetary research team from the United States, Australia, France, and Côte d'Ivoire has analyzed the formation of over 500 massive impact craters on Mars.

Heightened Brain Activity While Asleep to Perceive Unfamiliar Voices Could Be An Evolutionary Trick Against Potential Threats

Jan 17, 2022

Scientists found that the brain pays more attention to unfamiliar voices during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, indicating that it can learn even while asleep although it could do more harm than help because it should be at rest.

Genomes of Roadside Weed Arabidopsis Thaliana Helps Scientist Understand Genetic Mutation

Jan 13, 2022

A new study observed a non-random mutation pattern in genes of a roadside weed known as the thale cress. The findings gave insights to how mutations work in the evolution of organisms, including humans.

Dec 14, 2021

Researchers from Flinders University found that the brain of an ancient big-headed fish had given insights on evolution, particularly on how the fish first left the waters and invaded the land.

Ocean Salinity: Seawater is Less Salty Today Than First 500 Million Years of Earth

Dec 14, 2021

A new study proposes that levels of salt on early oceans are much higher compared to the salinity today. The findings suggests a conclusive evidence to how halogens worked during the first phases of geological and atmospheric evolution of Earth.
