1. "Researchers Discover New Species of Jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea" This article discusses the recent discovery of a new species of jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea. It explains how the species was identified and provides details about its physical characteristics. It also discusses the potential implications of the discovery for marine ecosystems in the region. 2. "New Study Finds That Pollution is Increasingly Threatening Coral Reefs" This article examines a recent study which found that pollution is a major threat to coral reef ecosystems. It explains how pollution is damaging coral reef habitats, and explores possible solutions to reducing pollution and protecting coral reefs. 3. "Scientists Develop New Method for Detecting Disease-Causing Bacteria" This article discusses a new method for detecting disease-causing bacteria developed by scientists. It explains how the method works and highlights its potential applications in the medical field. It also looks at how the method could be used to improve public health efforts. 4. "Researchers Discover Genes Responsible for Plant Growth and Development" This article examines a recent study which identified the genes responsible for plant growth and development. It explains how the genes were identified, and provides details about their role in plant growth. It
Feathers are among the most complex cutaneous appendages in the animal kingdom. While their evolutionary origin has been widely debated, paleontological discoveries and developmental biology studies suggest that feathers evolved from simple structures known as proto-feathers.
This week: 2025 ASN awards, "conceptual purity" vs. computer science, Daniel Kahneman's last decision, self-citations (but not in the way you're thinking of), "stealth advocacy" in conservation biology, and more. Congratulations to all 2025 American Society of Naturalists award winners! Paleontologist Elisabeth Vrba has passed away at the age of 82. She did hugely influential…
A longstanding question in evolutionary biology is how sexual selection influences how entire genomes develop. Sexual selection is where individuals with certain traits have higher reproductive success, leading to the spread of those traits throughout a species.
Researchers from the German Primate Center—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics have discovered two specific genes that evolve exclusively in humans jointly influence the development of the cerebrum. They have thus provided evidence that these genes contribute together to the evolutionary enlargement of the brain.
In a study published in Systematic Biology, researchers from Imperial College London, UCL, Dalhousie University and the United Nations Environment Program World Conservation Monitoring Center described how their new simulation methods improve understanding of how patterns of biodiversity emerge across the globe.
