A multigenerational study of four lizard species addresses the 'paradox of stasis' in evolutionary theory, which posits that natural selection appears to happen slowly on long timescales and quickly on short ones. The research shows how short-term variability can lead to long-term stability, challenging a widely held assumption in biology. The work also highlights the importance of long-term field studies in ecology and evolutionary biology.
