- A remarkable international effort to map out the avian tree of life has revealed how birds evolved after the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs into more than 10,000 species alive today. More than 200 scientists in 20 countries joined forces to create the evolutionary tree. http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/dec/11/birds-evolution-feathers-genome-sequencing-avian-genes 7 comments worldnews

- Statistical analysis of 400M people (family tree registrees of primarily Americans of European descent) suggests heritability of life span is below past estimates - seems less correlated with genetics than expected (previous results skewed by humans tendency to pick partners with similar traits) http://www.genetics.org/content/210/3/1109 3 comments science

Biologists document the evolution of a virus into 2 incipient species, a process known as speciation that Darwin proposed to explain the branching in the tree of life, where 1 species splits into 2 distinct species during evolution. http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease/biologists_watch_speciation_in_a_laboratory_flask 82 comments science
