Plant and fungal symbionts swap more resources with partners that provide a greater return of nutrients.
Researchers use directed evolution to create a bacterial strain that substitutes a synthetic base for thymine.
Protein interaction networks in Arabidopsis give clues to plant evolution and immunity.
The discovery of a new bird-like fossil challenges longstanding theories about which species of dinosaur gave rise to the avian lineage.
Unlike human brains, chimpanzee brains don’t get smaller as they age, suggesting that pronounced neurological decline is a uniquely human byproduct of our oversized brains and extreme longevity.
