The word “evolution” has many different meanings. Two definitions vital to Darwinian evolution are microevoloution and macroevolution. Microevolution, also called adaption or variation, is a change ...
A link between evolution over short time frames (microevolution) and long time frames (macroevolution) that could open new approaches to understanding some of biology's deepest questions is proposed ...

Macroevolution: “a vague term for the evolution of great phenotypic changes, usually great enough to allocate the changed lineage and its descendants to a distinct genus or higher taxon” — from D. J.
The challenges in teaching and learning of biological evolution continue to be documented (NAS, 2008). Developers of science standards continue their work to increase emphasis on evolution. Although ...
It is important to first define what is meant by the word"evolution." There are actually two major theories of biological evolution: •Microevolution - Unequivocally proven through numerous scientific ...
Life-history traits represent organisms’ strategies to navigate the fitness trade-offs between survival and reproduction. Eric Charnov developed three dimensionless metrics to quantify fundamental ...
I'm a macroevolutionary paleobiologist. My work extends beyond the limits of microevolution by including processes that encompass many species and span deep time. In my work, I focus on the ...
