Researchers have uncovered new insights into the evolution of bird behavior, revealing why certain mating systems persist while others disappear over time. Researchers at Rice University have ...

Humans don’t have a defined mating season like deer or wolves. Here’s how evolution blended biology, culture and social life into year-round intimacy.

In examining the mating rituals of roundworms, researchers uncovered a unique approach to reproduction that maximizes genetic fitness. Sparks fly when a female nematode meets her mate in a Petri dish.

Fungal mating systems represent a fascinating arena of biological complexity that underpins the remarkable genetic diversity seen in these organisms. Unlike animals, fungi do not have distinct sexes ...

In one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind, Rice researchers analyze how different mating practices shape evolution and survival Researchers at Rice University have uncovered new insights ...
