Eukaryotes: A new timetable of evolution
2015-06-03 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Contaminated samples have evidently created some confusion in the timetable of life. On the basis of ultra-clean analyses, an international team, including scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, has disproved supposed evidence that eukaryotes originated 2.5 to 2.8 billion years ago. In contrast to prokaryotes such as bacteria, eukaryotes have a nucleus. Some researchers thought they had discovered molecular remnants of living organisms in rock samples up to 2.8 …

The surprising links between faith & evolution & climate denial - charted
2015-05-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: For a long time, weve been having a pretty confused discussion about the relationship between religious beliefs and the rejection of science -- and especially its two most prominent U.S. incarnations, evolution denial and climate change denial. At one extreme is the position that science denial is somehow deeply or fundamentally religions fault. But this neglects the wide diversity of views about science across faiths and denominations -- and even across individuals of the same faith or denomination...

Evolution makes invading species spread even faster
2015-04-22 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Today, invasive animals and plants spread all around the globe. Predicting the dynamics of these invasions is of great ecological and socioeconomical interest. Yet studying them is fundamentally challenging because of the large spatial and temporal scales involved. Scientists at Eawag and University of Zurich are now using computer simulations and small artificial laboratory worlds, to study how rapid evolution makes invaders spread even faster. Due to worldwide mobilit…
