(Biological) Evolution of Christmas Trees

December 14, 2012 ~ Chris Wolverton ~ Leave a comment

Researchers at the Université Laval in Canada have shown that conifers have evolved very little over the last 100 million years. They speculate that this may be because conifers achieved balance with their environment early on, allowing them to grow in many habitats around the world successfully. The original paper is at BMC Biology 2012, 10:84.
