Animals from embryos to adults experiencing stress from climate change have numerous
mechanisms available for enhancing their long-term survival. In this review we consider …

Evolutionary biology was previously considered a historical science with predictions about
evolutionary trajectories believed to be near impossible. The development of high …

The joint distribution of selection coefficients and mutation rates is a key determinant of the
genetic architecture of molecular adaptation. Three different distributions are of immediate …

Genes encoding a novel multidrug efflux pump, AadT, from the Drug: H+ antiporter 2 family,
were discovered in Acinetobacter multidrug resistance plasmids. Here, we profiled the …

Biomorphs, Richard Dawkins's iconic model of morphological evolution, are traditionally
used to demonstrate the power of natural selection to generate biological order from random …

The current‐generation adenine base editor (ABE) ABE8e, which has evolved from the
prokaryotic evolution system, exhibits high efficiency in mediating A‐to‐G conversion and is …

Natural selection is commonly assumed to act on extensive standing genetic variation. Yet,
accumulating evidence highlights the role of mutational processes creating this genetic …

The idea that “mutations are random” is ubiquitous in evolutionary biology. But do
evolutionary biologists agree on what it means? What does a historical account teach us …

The descendants of the B lineage are the most predominant variants among the SARS-CoV-
2 virus due to the incorporation of new mutations augmenting the infectivity of the virus …

Plant pathogens are highly adaptable, and have evolved to overcome control measures
including multiple classes of fungicides. More effective management requires a thorough …
