Vertebrate genomes are repositories for retrovirus code that was deposited into germ line as inherited endogenous retroviruses during evolution. Researchers now provide new findings about retroviral ...

The Galápagos Islands have long symbolised evolutionary ingenuity, typified by Darwin’s finches. However, the recent incursion of avian parasites, most notably the invasive fly Philornis downsi, has ...

An international study led by researchers at Uppsala University (Sweden) in collaboration with researchers at The University of Queensland (Australia) and Princeton University (NJ, USA) used ...

There are now at least 13 species of finches on the Galapagos Islands, each filling a different niche on different islands. All of them evolved from one ancestral species, which colonized the islands ...
