Darwin–Wallace Paradigm Shift perceived the genesis of a new biology. The theory of “species evolution by natural selection” flew right by them.

The remarkable coincidence between the monomeric constituents of living organisms and those synthesized in Miller-type experiments appears to be too striking to be fortuitous. However, how the ubiquitous nucleic acid-based genetic system of extant life may have

These advances could have led to simultaneous developments in the nature of the apparatus, by the addition of new RNA features

Role of Symbiosis in Evolutiongenomes from different species observed during symbiosis, like mutation, recombination, and other genome rearrangements, can be viewed as a source of genetic variation, the fuel for evolution. The action of forces such as natural selection and/or random drift will be responsible for transforming thi

The Evolutionary Origin of Animals and Fungi protists are also important links in defining the relationship of opisthokonts to the rest of eukaryotes. In this chapter, we describe all the major currently known groups of opisthokont protist, what their distinguishing features are, and what are our current ideas as to how they are related to ea

The dispersal of northern hemisphere plants and land mammals, including perissodactyla, artiodactyla, and primates, at this time marked a fundamental faunal reorganization at the end of the Paleocene.

Ecological Selection and the Evolution of Body Size and Sexual Size Dimorphism in the Galapagos Flig the family showed that the Flightless cormorant is the largest phalacrocoracid. Several factors are theoretically likely to favor the evolution of larger size and greater SSD in species where the male is larger than the female. However, sexual selection favoring larger size in males through competi

From Copernicus to Darwin (1473–1882)rse in all aspects, its territory hosts one of the most biodiverse settings available on the planet. Its mainland is covered with lush tropical rainforests, snow-peaked active volcanoes that reach the sky, and unique coastal region rich in marine life. The Galapagos Islands, some 600 miles west, spe
