A new study has uncovered how the MN1 gene evolved to shape both the brain and skull during embryogenesis — a link with profound implications for understanding evolution, development but also birth defects. more

New research published in the Journal of Animal Ecology uncovers the surprisingly complex mating behaviour of wild male house mice. The study, led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology, shows that male mice fall into two camps when it comes to love: some fiercely guard their territory and the females within, while others play it cool and roam in search of quick flings. more
