This species, which diverged from the animal evolutionary line over a billion years ago, suggests that key processes underlying multicellular development may have existed well before animals ...

Understanding biological relationships is often critical when studying animal populations. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary ... or paternal line. Cayo Santiago ...

The Animal Evolutionary Ecology group offers a variety of courses for Bachelor and Master students. In the third/fifth semester of the Bachelor's programme we are responsible for the lecture ...

The discovery of a billion-year-old fossil in Scotland offers exciting new insight into animal evolution, BC researcher says Loch Torridon in Scotland, where the microfossil was discovered. Photo: ...

In animal evolution, the acquisition of new microRNA families seems to have been much more rapid than the acquisition of new transcription-factor families. Several authors have proposed that new ...

even though the organism separated from animal’s evolutionary line a billion years ago. While this similar process suggests that animals inherited their own version of the ability from their ...

Dr Garwood explains: ‘The evolutionary events during the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition are unparalleled in Earth history. That’s because current fossil records suggests that many animal groups alive ...

This course explores how genetics, the environment, and humans shape the evolution of animal behaviour and inter- and intraspecific interactions. Practice sessions develop skills on the description, ...

All animal evolution for the last half billion years has come from tinkering with these Cambrian body plans. Then, between about 570 and 530 million years ago, another burst of diversification ...
