A new study helps explain how spatial variation in natural environments helps spur evolution and give rise to biodiversity. A new study published in the journal American Naturalist helps explain how ...

Professor Jillian (Jill) Banfield was invited to contribute a Winogradsky review based on her recognized contributions to the field of microbial ecology using the acid mine drainage (AMD) biofilm as a ...

Scientists have demonstrated that organisms with greater complexity are more likely to evolve in complex environments. Scientists have demonstrated that organisms with greater complexity are more ...

Environmental conditions such as sea surface temperature and the occurrence of cold water upwelling events drive the structure of interaction networks in marine intertidal communities via their ...

We discuss the properties of controllability and complexity in novel object enrichment, their definition and present a critique of previous work related to them. We address the relationship between ...

Scientists have demonstrated that organisms with greater complexity are more likely to evolve in complex environments, according to research published this week in PLOS Computational Biology. The ...
