Hurricane gave researchers a rare opportunity to study evolution
When a devastating 2004 hurricane wiped out a Caribbean lizard population, University of California, Davis, researchers had an unprecedented opportunity to address a long-simmering controversy in evolutionary biology. Their findings –- from the first experimental study of the so-called "founder effect" in a natural setting -- are published in the Feb. 3 edition of Science Express, the onlin Source: University of California - Davis - Discipline: Evolution...
