WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 -- The National Science Foundation issued the following news release:
Scientists at the University of Oregon have determined the fine-scale genetic structure of the first animal to show an evolutionary response to rapid climate change.
They used a high-throughput sequencing technique called Restriction-site Associated DNA (RAD) tagging to make the discovery.
Their results, which focus on the pitcher plant mosquito, Wyeomyia smithii . . .
