Deborah Charlesworth FRS FRSE (née Maltby; born 1943) is a population geneticist from the UK, notable for her important discoveries in population genetics and evolutionary biology. [3] [4] Her most notable research is in understanding the evolution of recombination, sex chromosomes and mating system for plants. [3]
Mary Jane West-Eberhard (born 1941 [1]) is an American theoretical biologist noted for arguing that phenotypic and developmental plasticity played a key role in shaping animal evolution and speciation. She is also an entomologist notable for her work on the behavior and evolution of social wasps.
She was interested in studying the evolution of maize through chromosomal changes, [58] and being in South America would allow her to work on a larger scale. McClintock explored the chromosomal, morphological, and evolutionary characteristics of various races of maize.
Colette Marie St. Mary is a professor and associate chair of the biology department at the University of Florida.Her research focuses include behavioral and evolutionary ecology, speciation, sexual selection, and evolutionary aspects of cancer.

A recently observed example has as protagonists M. xanthus (predator) and E. coli (prey) in which a parallel evolution of both species can be observed through genomic and phenotypic modifications, producing in future generations a better adaptation of one of the species that is counteracted by the evolution of the other, thus generating an arms ...
