Scientists report adaptive divergence in cryptic color pattern is underlain by two distinct, complex chromosomal rearrangements, where millions of bases of DNA were flipped backwards and moved from ...

Understanding the material basis of adaptive evolution has been a central goal in biology dating back to at least the time of ...

USU researchers, led by Gompert, discovered complex chromosomal rearrangements in stick insects, challenging evolutionary ...

One stick insect pattern is green ... may be regularly available to prompt evolution. “We’re just scratching the surface,” Gompert says. “We’ve lacked the tools to detect structural ...
