Prehistoric worms’ burrowing activities on ocean floors released oxygen, fostering the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event, according a new study. One of Earth’s most consequential bursts…
New findings from a complete porcupine skeleton in Florida reveal a much earlier origin for North American porcupines, predating the Isthmus of Panama, and suggest…
Penn State research indicates that female giraffes’ long necks, crucial for accessing deep-set leaves, might drive their evolution, highlighting the need for conservation efforts. Why…
Studies reveal Aspergillus flavus’s unique adaptations to thrive in the harsh conditions of bee hives, suggesting a potential symbiotic relationship with bees. Previous research efforts…
A new study has discovered that mergansers arrived in New Zealand from the Northern Hemisphere over seven million years ago, highlighting a more cosmopolitan origin…
Paleontologists have discovered a massive Jurassic pterosaur in Oxfordshire, with an estimated wingspan of over three meters, making it one of the largest of its…
Recent research shows that genes linked to lost traits in stick insects may be preserved, enabling their potential re-emergence over evolutionary time. Traits can disappear…
Research published in the scientific journal Current Biology reveals that sexual parasitism in anglerfishes originated during a major global warming event that led to their…
Why do primates possess large brains? To investigate this, researchers in the Panamanian rainforest conducted experiments comparing the foraging intelligence of primates with larger brains…
Climate Change Was No Problem for the Big Fish Research shows that sharks evolved from bottom dwellers to open ocean predators during a past global…
Complete X and Y chromosome sequences from six different primate species have been successfully mapped, revealing a rich diversity among these species and providing deeper…
A genomic study supports the hypothesis that the evolution of ruminant horns and antlers was not independent. From the small ossicones on a giraffe to…
Researchers present evidence of repeatable evolutionary patterns in California’s stick insect populations, demonstrating that while short-term evolution can be predictable due to constant environmental pressures…
New research reveals that cell-in-cell phenomena, where one cell consumes another, are common across all life forms and important for normal biological functions, not just…
Yale researchers have uncovered how sexual parasitism among deep-sea anglerfish, involving males permanently attaching to females, facilitated their adaptation from shallow-water habitats to the deep-sea…
