A first-of-its-kind study traces the rise of ant- and termite-eaters, revealing how mammals returned to the evolutionary table — at least a dozen times — to hone traits for feasting on the social ...

Researchers analyzed ancient and modern genetic samples of the Greenlandic Qimmit breed to shed light on the long ...

Surprisingly, Pokémon and Godzilla have quite a few things in common. Many Pokémon actually look like the kaiju in Godzilla movies.

A genomic analysis of Greenland’s Qimmeq dogs suggest they and their human partners arrived on the island centuries earlier than previously thought.

“Ancient DNA has produced a revolution in our understanding of recent human origins,” said Daniel Green, field program ...

What paleontologists learned from fossils of a 3-eyed predator that lived 500 million years ago The unique features of Mosura fentoni astounded paleontologists.

Birds are the most diverse land vertebrate on the planet, and now scientists have constructed a complete evolutionary tree of the 11,000 or so known species. This data came from hundreds of ...

Professor Emily Jane McTavish and colleagues at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology have mapped the evolution of every known bird species. They created a complete evolutionary tree of bird species by ...

But until now, scientists lacked a complete evolutionary timeline that includes them all. The most recent and detailed phylogenomic tree assembled to date included 239 primate species.

A more detailed list of Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution leaks dropped. One previously listed Pokémon is no longer featured.

A new study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (MPI-EB) sheds fresh light on one of the most debated concepts in biology: evolvability. The work provides the first ...

For the first time, researchers used data from protein shapes and combined it with data from genomic sequences to improve the reliability of evolutionary trees—which they describe as a critical ...
