Breeding corals to survive future heatwaves may be possible, offering hope for reefs as climate change drives more extreme ...

When scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen set out to study how traits pass from one generation to another, they expected to find answers in genes. Instead, they found them in ...

True altruism is rare behavior in animals, but a new study has found that honey bees display this trait. Additionally, they found that an evolutionary battle of genetics may determine the parent they ...

An ongoing question of concern to researchers interested in dog behavior is just how much of it is coded in their DNA. According to the findings of a research team headed by Evan McLean of the ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...
