Evolutionary biologist Riccardo Papa and his team presented important findings using butterflies.

In the field of evolutionary biology, studying philosophy, time and space is unusual. However, Dr. Riccardo Papa and his team of students from the Department of Biology at the Río Piedras Campus of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) did just that, and what they found earned them a publication in the prestigious scientific journal Science.

After collecting data for three and a half years, the group found that, in essence, there is no single path to evolution. That is, the same result can be reached in different ways; in this case, in the field of development, evolution and morphology (how living things are formed).

"Chasing sand." This is how Dr. Maritza Barreto described one of the phases of the research she performed with her assistant Elizabeth Diaz on several beaches on the north coast that were impacted by Hurricane Maria.

Barreto explained to Diálogo during a tour of some beaches rammed by the hurricane that  the components of the sand shed vital information. They allow to identify if the waters of the surrounding rivers reached the zone. The bulk of the sediment also tells you how strong the swell was.
