"Wild Florida Lizards Reveal Surprising Evolutionary Lessons"

New research challenges the traditional understanding of natural selection by studying the survival patterns of lizards in their natural habitat. Contrary to previous beliefs, the study found that natural selection, which maintains an average species feature, was infrequent. Instead, traits advantageous for survival varied from year to year, yet overall, species appearance remained largely unchanged over time. The study suggests that species can remain consistent in appearance while still undergoing evolution, providing new insights into evolutionary stasis.
