Tale of two snails reveals secrets about the biochemistry of evolution

Monday, November 3, 2008 - 11:21 in Biology & Nature

Researchers in Spain are reporting deep new insights into how evolution changes the biochemistry of living things, helping them to adapt to new environments. Their study, based on an analysis of proteins produced by two populations of marine snails, reveals chemical differences that give one population a survival-of-the fittest edge for life in its cold, wave-exposed environment...
