The tiny marine invertebrate’s genes shed new light on the immune system. According to a recent study done by experts at the University of Pittsburgh…
Despite lung loss in adults for millions of years, lungless salamanders develop lungs as embryos. For many vertebrates, including humans, their lungs are essential. Four…
The discovery of a lonely tortoise doubles the number of known individuals of the “phantasticus” species. Evolutionary scientists were perplexed by the finding of a…
Stephen Gaughran, a geneticist at Princeton University, has verified that “Fernanda” is related to a tortoise that was taken from Fernandina Island more than a…
Fossils demonstrate that head-bashing combat contributed to the development of the long necks of giraffes. The authors of the study propose an alternative theory for the…
Researchers identify ancient birds behind prehistoric giant eggs A years-long scientific controversy in Australia about what animal is the true mother of gigantic primordial eggs…
Megatooth sharks, the largest sharks that have ever existed, were also the greatest apex predators ever measured, according to a new Princeton study According to…
The human middle ear—which houses three tiny, vibrating bones—is key to transporting sound vibrations into the inner ear, where they become nerve impulses that allow…
Giraffes are quite distinctive due to their extremely long necks. In fact, their necks can be as long as 7.9 feet (2.4 m). Even though…
Scientists say convergent evolution is much more common than previously thought. An evolutionary tree, or phylogenetic tree, is a branching diagram showing the evolutionary relationships…
Scientists investigated the diet of megalodon, the largest shark to have ever lived, using zinc isotopes. In a new study, researchers compared how high up…
In watery underground caverns, there are strange creatures that live in an eternal midnight. Over the course of generations, these animals have adapted to their…
The raw material for evolution is much more abundant in wild animals than was previously thought, according to new research from The Australian National University…
International scientific consortium, the SpatioTemporal Omics Consortium (STOC), produces the first spatiotemporal maps of cellular dynamics in mice, Drosophila, zebrafish, and Arabidopsis, using BGI-Research’s world-leading…
While many people around the world just finished unwrapping their Easter eggs, scientists have solved one of nature’s biggest criminal cases, an egg forgery scandal…
