Fossils of four new cetacean species have been discovered at a road construction site in California.
The small organ evolved too many times for it to be an accident, but it’s still unclear what it does.
A small insect-eating animal is the common ancestor of whales, elephants, dogs, and humans.
Collective cell migration relies on a directional signal that comes from the moving cluster, rather than from external cues.
A handful of species have learned how to survive in freezing climates. To do so, the animals must counteract the damaging effects of ice crystal formation, or keep from freezing altogether. Here are a few ways they do it.
Watch the cell transplant experiments in zebrafish that suggest certain embryonic cells rely on intrinsic directional cues for collective migration.
Animals and plants come in a dizzying array of colors. Current research is cracking into the remarkable structures behind nature's artistic display.
Researchers read the marks of intense warfare and conquest in the genes of ancient native North Americans.
Tracking the genetic diversity and evolution of rhinoviruses can lead to a better understanding of viral evolution, the common cold, and more dangerous infections.
