Bread mould avoids infection by mutating its own DNA Scientists discover that a common fungus goes against the evolutionary rule that states natural selection should limit genetic mutations.
Scientists discover why some birds live fast and die young An international study, co-authored by a researcher from the Milner Centre for Evolution, has revealed why some bird species take longer to develop than others.
Intensive farming increases risk of epidemics, warn scientists Overuse of antibiotics, high animal numbers and low genetic diversity from intensive farming increase the risk of animal pathogens transferring to humans.
