Hybrid sterility and reproductive isolation represent critical challenges for rice breeding programmes, as these biological barriers restrict the successful fusion of diverse genetic backgrounds. By ...

The formation and maintenance of species in nature is accomplished by the evolution of reproductive isolating mechanisms. To understand patterns of speciation and coexistence between species, it is ...

When two organisms typically do not interbreed with one another, they are considered different species. But what are the reproductive barriers that isolate one population from another? Hear the ...

A paper published by URI researchers reveals key mechanisms in speciation in corals. Critically threatened by climate change, a better understanding of coral biology will help efforts to conserve and ...
