A new study has shown that selective breeding can lead to a modest rise in coral heat tolerance. The study documents the world s first effort to selectively breed adult corals for enhanced heat ...

Dogs have been around humans for over 30,000 years and have earned themselves the title of humans’ best friends. Since being domesticated, the species has undergone dramatic changes due to selective ...

A study from researchers at Durham University has found that the process of domestication and selective breeding has limited the ability of domestic dogs to use facial expressions to convey effective ...

Our research group has bred corals able to better survive marine heatwaves. Our work, now published in Nature Communications, shows that it is possible to improve coral heat tolerance even within a ...

A new breed of honey bees provides a major advance in the global fight against the parasitic Varroa mite, new research shows. The invasive mite, which has spread to all continents except Australia and ...

A single generation of selective breeding can make corals better able to withstand extreme temperatures, according to our new research. The discovery could offer a lifeline to reefs threatened by the ...

Selective breeding is an important middle and high school science topic because it helps students understand heredity, variation, artificial selection, adaptations, genetics, and how humans have ...
