Study discovers secret of Scottish sheep evolution (1/21/2008)

Study discovers secret of Scottish sheep evolutionResearchers from the University of Sheffield, as part of an international team, have discovered the secret of why dark sheep on a remote Scottish Island are mysteriously declining, seemingly contradicting Darwin's evolutionary theory. ...> Full Article


Wild Sheep Descended From Single Pair Show Surprising Genetic Diversity (6/23/2007)

Wild Sheep Descended From Single Pair Show Surprising Genetic DiversityScientists at Université du Québec à Montréal have reconstructed the genetic history of a population of mouflons (wild sheep) descended from a single pair. The researchers demonstrated that the animals’ genetic diversity increased over time, contrary to what the usual models predict. These results contradict the belief that a population descended from a small number of individuals will exhibit numerous deficiencies and reduced genetic diversity. ...> Full Article
