Promiscuity mixes up the gene pool and dilutes genetic differences between populations, slowing down the evolution of new species, says new research by an international team led by the University of ...

Molecular recognition between proteins and their interacting partners underlies the biochemistry of living organisms. Specificity in this recognition is thought to be essential, whereas promiscuity is ...

A team of researchers has announced a major new advance in understanding how our genetic information eventually translates into functional proteins -- one of the building blocks of human life. The ...

Promiscuous Birds Promiscuous birds hatch more dud chicks, according to new findings, which counter existing ideas about the evolution of promiscuity. Dr Jane Reid and Dr Rebecca Sardell from the ...

Females are coy and males are ardent. This was Darwin’s somewhat Victorian portrayal of the sexes in his book The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex. The myth that males are naturally ...

New research shows that variation in mating behaviors, parental care and differences in ornamentation of the sexes in bird species is driven by demographics rather than vice versa. An international ...

Monogamous birds switch partners for reasons similar to human breakups, scientists say Affairs or lengthy spells apart commonly spell divorce for human couples – but it seems similar factors play a ...
