Early Land Plants Evolved From Freshwater Algae, Fossils Reveal The world may need to start thinking differently about plants, according to a new report in…
Same-sex sexual behaviour may seem to present a Darwinian paradox. It provides no obvious reproductive or survival benefit, and yet same-sex sexual behavior is fairly…
One of the biggest questions in evolution is when and how major groups of animals first evolved. The rise of tetrapods (all limbed vertebrates) from…
There’s been an age-old question going back to Darwin’s time about the relationships among the world’s five living rhinoceros species. One reason answers have been…
The evolution of the temporomandibular joint and premolar teeth enabled adaptation to bamboo diet. Although the giant panda is in practice a herbivore, its masticatory…
Tyrannosaurus rex’s ‘bite detectors’ better than any other dinosaur studied yet. Tyrannosaurus rex was not just a huge beast with a big bite, it had nerve…
Climate conditions play a significant role in the reproductive success of mature female Antarctic krill and are a factor in fluctuations of the population that…
A predator doesn’t need to have the quickest speed or reflexes to catch a bird. In a paper publishing August 23 in the journal Current Biology,…
