How did animal life transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments? (IMAGE)
Caption
For the first time, a study provides answers to some unknown aspects about how the genome of animals changed during the process of terrestrialization. It also reveals that much of the adaptation to life outside the aquatic environment is a surprisingly predictable process. From left to right, Jordi Paps Montserrat, co-director of the research, and Jialin Wei, article's first author.
