Medicine & TechnologyScientists investigate the mechanism on how some invasive species, such as the green crab, had shown extensive dispersal in the last decade as they adapt across environmental gradients despite lacking genetic diversity.
Researchers recently discovered seven spotted skunk species exhibiting the same tricks as a final warning before they spray which is doing the handstand.
Bowfin fish (Amia calva) is an evolutionary enigma representing a unique combination of ancient and modern fish. Charles Darwin even described it as a "living fossil," that has evolved slower than most fishes.
The presence of Cells has recently been discovered in sea anemones and corals, a finding that can eventually help in the development of tools to better analyze marine and coral health.
A research team recently revealed how strong bonds between male chimpanzees can lead to a successful quest for female chimps and opportunities for mating and eventually, produce offspring.
Two studies investigating how Darwin's finches living in the Galapagos Islands deal with a parasitic avian vampire fly reveal new insights into the theory of evolution that can be used to maintain finch population and deal with parasites around the world.
In a recent study, venom was given recognition as a significant contributor to the great diversification of vertebrate and invertebrate species in the insect and fish groups.
In new research, scientists showed rapid water flea evolution. Specifically, they were able to identify over 300 genes that vary in the water flea's genome.
