The turbidity of wine has an influence on the aroma of the ferment, but not on the accumulation of biogenic amines
The turbidity of red wine during its ageing in oak casks has an influence on the accumulation of volatile compounds and, thereby, on the wine's aroma, but not on the accumulation of biogenic amines. view more (2006-11-28)
A glimpse at the Earth's crust deep below the Atlantic
Long-term variations in volcanism help explain the birth, evolution and death of striking geological features called oceanic core complexes on the ocean floor, says geologist Dr Bram Murton of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. view more (2009-11-13)
Scientists fix bugs in our understanding of evolution
What makes a human different from a chimp? Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute [EMBL-EBI] have come one important step closer to answering such evolutionary questions correctly. view more (2008-06-20)
Genome comparison of 12 fruit fly species
Researchers from the UAB Genomics, Bioinformatics and Evolution Group participated in an international research that has resulted in the completion of the genomes of ten new fruit fly species. The study also includes new data on the evolution of the twelve currently known species during the past sixty million years. view more (2007-11-16)
How Life Originated In Space
Life originated on the Earth more than 3.5 billion years ago. However, the scientists are still disputing over the possible sources of the life origin. The matter is that life on our planet evolved from the molecular level to the level of bacteria organisms within 0.5 - 1 billion years, this period being very short for such an important... view more...

Sea snails break the law
Lizards gave rise to legless snakes. Cave fishes don't have eyeballs. In evolution, complicated structures often get lost. Dollo's Law states that complicated structures can't be re-evolved because the genes that code for them were lost or have mutated. view more (2007-04-25)
Evolution education is a 'must' says coalition of scientific and teaching organizations
A coalition of 17 organizations, including the National Academy of Sciences, the American Institute of Physics, and the National Science Teachers Association, is calling on the scientific community to become more involved in the promotion of science education, including evolution. view more (2008-01-02)
EU-funded project to grow first artificial society
A EUR1.55 million project funded by the European Union's Sixth Framework Programme to grow the first society based on artificial, computer-based beings, much like characters in popular computer games such as SIMS, was officially launched on Wednesday during the AISB2005 convention at the University of Hertfordshire. view more (2005-04-14)
Folding wings - just the business for insect survival
Just like modern businesses, insects have had to diversify to survive, according to University of York scientist Peter Mayhew. The ability to fold their wings is one device they have adopted over the years as part of the struggle for survival, says Dr Mayhew. And folding wings have given the insects which adopted them - including bugs, beetles,... view more... (2002-05-01)
Molecular evolution is echoed in bat ears
Bats' ability to echolocate may have evolved more than once, according to research published this week by Queen Mary, University of London scientists. view more (2008-09-05)
Why can't chimps speak?
If humans are genetically related to chimps, why did our brains develop the innate ability for language and speech while theirs did not? view more (2009-11-12)
First 'rule' of evolution suggests that life is destined to become more complex
In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences researchers have found evidence which suggests that evolution drives animals to become increasingly more complex. view more (2008-03-18)
Butterfly restrains Darwin
In experiments with butterflies, evolutionary biologists from Leiden University have demonstrated that natural selection is not always the only factor which determines the appearance of an organism. Constraints also appear to play a role at times in determining the progress and outcome of the evolutionary process. This research from Leiden... view more... (2002-10-24)
Study discovers secret of Scottish sheep evolution
Researchers from the University of Sheffield, as part of an international team, have discovered the secret of why dark sheep on a remote Scottish Island are mysteriously declining, seemingly contradicting Darwin's evolutionary theory. view more (2008-01-18)
Industry Evolution And Shakeout Mechanisms In The Internet Service Provider Industry
The dissertation of Susanne Suhonen (Mc.S in Econ) will be publicly examined at the Helsinki School of Economics on Friday, May 24, 2002. The opponent is Professor Thomas Keil from the Schulich School of Business, York University, Canada. The instructor is Professor Arto Lahti, from the Helsinki School of Economics. The dissertation "Industry... view more... (2002-05-24)
Revealing the evolutionary history of threatened sea turtles
It's confirmed: Even though flatback turtles dine on fish, shrimp, and mollusks, they are closely related to primarily herbivorous green sea turtles. view more (2008-10-16)
A new wrinkle in evolution -- Man-made proteins
Nature, through the trial and error of evolution, has discovered a vast diversity of life from what can only presumed to have been a primordial pool of building blocks. view more (2007-05-23)
Coelacanth fossil sheds light on fin-to-limb evolution
A 400 million-year-old fossil of a coelacanth fin, the first finding of its kind, fills a shrinking evolutionary gap between fins and limbs. view more (2007-08-01)
Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History reveals ants as fungus farmers
It turns out ants, like humans, are true farmers. The difference is that ants are farming fungus. view more (2008-03-25)
LSU professor involved in genome sequencing of the first marsupial
Since the launch of the Human Genome Project, which released a first draft of the entire sequence of human DNA in 2001, many researchers have dedicated themselves to creating a library of comprehensive, species-specific genetic sequence "maps" available for study. view more (2007-05-10)
