Homology--a similar trait shared by different species and derived from common ancestry, such as a seal's fin and a bird's wing--is one of the most ...

The origin of biological diversity, via the formation of new species, can be inextricably linked to adaptation to the ecological environment. Speci...

Parental care includes a wide variety of traits that enhance offspring development and survival. It is taxonomically widespread and is central to t...
