Researchers find Apennine brown bears evolved into a smaller, less aggressive animal after centuries of coexistence with ...

In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary processes ...

An apparent case of accidental domestication, these bears developed calmer temperaments over millennia. In A Nutshell Italy’s 50 remaining Apennine brown bears carry genetic signatures at 17 genes ...

Eastern Pennsylvania is home to beautiful farmlands and countryside, but it's also a gold mine of information for geneticists, who have studied the region's Amish culture for decades. Because of their ...
