Scientists Find Evolution Repeating in Galápagos Islands
Researchers discover giant daisies in the Galápagos Islands are repeating evolution, developing heat-tolerant leaves using different genetic pathways.
More than 150 years after Darwin’s finches helped reshape biology, Galápagos plants are exposing another evolutionary surprise. Giant daisies repeatedly developed similar heat-tolerant leaf shapes, but each lineage used a different combination of genes. Researchers also found major genetic differences among isolated populations, suggesting new species may be forming right now.
