It turns out humans aren’t the only ones checking out what their neighbors are doing when looking for ideas on how to make life easier. All species adapt and evolve in a variety of ways. In fact, ...
Researchers identified the proteins of a CO2-fixing organelle, namely, 'pyrenoid,' in the marine algal group Chlorarachniophyta and revealed various pyrenoid-associated proteins among algal groups, ...
Convergent evolution is the concept by which organisms independently develop mechanisms to adapt to the same, or similar, selective pressures. Classic examples include the evolution of camera-like ...
