Scientists have uncovered an unexpected genetic shift that may explain how animals with backbones first emerged and became so diverse.
Many spine-bearing creatures, or vertebrates, have a curious bit of tissue deep in their brains called the pineal gland. It ...
About 445 million years ago, Earth’s oceans turned into a danger zone. Glaciers spread across the supercontinent Gondwana, and shallow seas shrank fast.
Scientists have uncovered a surprising genetic shift that may explain how animals with backbones—from fish and frogs to ...
Every mammal, every fish, every vertebrate (creatures that have a spine) has two eyes. It’s been that way for millions and ...
New research from the University of St Andrews has discovered a crucial piece in the puzzle of how all animals with a spine—including all mammals, fish, reptiles and amphibians—evolved. In a paper ...
A headless cockroach isn’t fictional biology. Here’s how its decentralized systems keep it alive for days after being ...
New fossil evidence from China suggests that some of our vertebrate ancestors had four eyes. The study, published in Nature, takes a closer look at a structure found in multiple 518 million-year-old ...
For almost two decades, scientists have debated whether sponges or comb jellies are the first animal lineage. Now some are ...
There is considerable interest in understanding how vision and image-forming eyes evolved, and scientists tend to take it for granted that most vertebrates have two eyes. Writing in Nature, Lei et al.
