A potted scarlet monkeyflower would die within a few days without water. But multiple natural populations of the species ...
Mycologists cultivated fungi they found in post-wildfire landscapes to understand the evolutionary traits behind their ...
Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time the process has been observed in the wild.
Genetics helped scarlet monkeyflower rebound after California’s megadrought — a real‑world example of rapid evolution.
Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

Can species evolve fast enough to survive as the planet heats up?
The story of a wildflower that adapted to a severe drought in California raises hopes that evolution will come to the rescue of species hit by climate change, but there are limits ...
In their fight against climate change, west coast wildflower species like the scarlet monkeyflower have found ways to endure ...
Scientists call the phenomenon “evolutionary rescue” — when a species’ genetic diversity allows it to survive amid extreme threats.
A deep genetic mystery has baffled plant scientists for decades. Although leaves, stems, and flowers develop in strikingly similar ways across many ...
A potted scarlet monkeyflower would die within a few days without water. But multiple natural populations of the species survived an extreme ...
Sharks might not be a natural biological group, with most species potentially closer kin to rays than to an oddball group of sharks.
