Research from the Milner Centre for Evolution demonstrates a simple cost-free way to improve students’ understanding of evolution at secondary level.
One of the last dinosaurs living in Africa before their extinction 66 million years ago has been discovered in a phosphate mine in northern Morocco.
Promiscuity mixes up the gene pool and dilutes genetic differences between populations, slowing down the evolution of new species, says new research.
Geneticists from the Universities of Bath and Manchester are celebrating the discovery of the elusive ‘greenbeard gene’ that helps.
The first turf has been cut in the space by 4 South, paving the way to start work on our brand-new Milner Centre for Evolution, which is due to open in 2018.
Scientists have been awarded almost £1 million by the Leverhulme Trust to investigate the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Research suggests that birds have evolved larger brains to cope in harsh environments.
Study suggests some bird species take it in turns to do the night shift of parental care, whilst others leave it to the female look after the nest after dark.
A number of new links between families of genes and brain size have been identified by UK scientists, opening up a whole new avenue of research.
Scientists have found that habitat warming can reduce the diversity of species in marine environments, but increase speciation in freshwater habitats.
