Diversity in diet plays a role in the complexity of venom in pit vipers such as rattlesnakes, copperheads and cottonmouths. But new collaborative research by…
3D Deep Neural Network Precisely Reconstructs Freely-Behaving Animal’s Movements Animals are constantly moving and behaving in response to instructions from the brain. But while there…
The unknown direction and pace of change in microbial — including viral — biodiversity may have deep consequences for all life on Earth. With alarms…
Tarantulas are among the most notorious spiders, due in part to their size, vibrant colors, and prevalence throughout the world. But one thing most people…
Scientists’ findings suggest corals will withstand climate change. Charles Darwin, the British naturalist who championed the theory of evolution, noted that corals form far-reaching structures,…
