Evolutionary ecology encompasses the study of how evolutionary processes―such as natural selection, mutation, and genetic drift―interact with ecological dynamics to shape the diversity, distribution, ...
C4 photosynthesis represents a striking example of convergent evolution, where multiple plant lineages have independently modified an ancestral C3 pathway to enhance carbon fixation efficiency. This ...
Insects thrive in incredibly diverse and challenging environments. While we now know that nutrient-sensing pathways, ...
