A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen has made significant strides in understanding the evolution of predatory behavior of nematodes, challenging established ...

Some traits come only from your mother, from mitochondrial DNA to intelligence and inherited health risks. The post Traits ...

Although sedentary behavior may be an evolutionarily selected trait, it is still important to try to be physically active, says a new study conducted at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

An ongoing question of concern to researchers interested in dog behavior is just how much of it is coded in their DNA. According to the findings of a research team headed by Evan McLean of the ...

The study provides a comprehensive behavioral dataset of Drosophila melanogaster, categorized by genetic background, sex, and social context (isolated or in groups). Beyond enabling detailed analyses ...

Our parents' genes, even the ones we didn't inherit, leave a measurable lasting imprint on our lives. An international team ...

Physical activity behaviour emerges from a complex interplay between inherited genetic factors and a spectrum of environmental influences. Twin and family studies have consistently demonstrated ...

Although sedentary behavior may be an evolutionarily selected trait, it is still important to try to be physically active, says a new study conducted at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

Research by the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen reveals how nematodes can rapidly change to predatory behaviour through long-term environmental exposure. Over 101 generations, dietary ...
