Boston University announces new push for collaborative research, aims to step up progress on major societal challenges ...

This is a dramatic example of convergent evolution, when organisms that aren't closely related evolve similar traits as they both adapt to similar environments. There are a finite number of ...

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways ...

Although cell polarity is commonly analysed along one, and sometimes two, dimensions, this perspective illustrates how higher-order cell polarity regulates convergent extension — the coordinated ...

Focus: Identifying how convergent traits related to body elongation are acquired among eel genera Funding: The John Templeton Foundation We are investigating the order in which traits related to body ...

For more on divergent boundary, go to The Sea Floor Spread. Also known as subduction boundary, a convergent boundary occurs where one plate slides under another as the two are pushed together.
