Saber-toothed predators—best known from the infamous Smilodon—evolved multiple times across different mammal groups. A study titled "Functional optimality underpins the repeated evolution of the extreme 'saber-tooth' morphology" published in Current Biology reveals why: these teeth were 'functionally optimal' and highly effective at puncturing prey.

Welcome to our latest author interview post! Today's interview is with Ian Hatton, first author of Hatton et al. (2024) Science, "Diversity begets stability: sublinear growth and competitive coexistence across ecosystems." Hatton et al. (2024) first analyze time series data on the abundances of many different species, to show that estimated density-dependence is almost always…
A gender specialist at the University of Genoa, in Italy, a psychologist at the University of Missouri, in the U.S., and a behavioralist at the University of Roehampton, in the U.K, have found that men are growing taller and heavier at twice the rate of women. In their study published in Biology Letters, the researchers analyzed a century's worth of data in the World Health Organization's database and found evidence of a growing sexual dimorphism in humans.
