A team of scientists from the University of Manchester have uncovered some of the earliest evidence of advanced, camera-like ...
Scientists analysing 443-million-year-old Scottish fossils have uncovered the early evidence that some of the first groups of ...
The study of early vertebrates provides an essential window into the evolutionary processes that shaped modern biodiversity. Fossil discoveries spanning the Silurian to Devonian periods reveal a ...
New fossil evidence from China suggests that some of our vertebrate ancestors had four eyes. The study, published in Nature, ...
During the course of evolution, the mammalian cranio-mandibular secondary joint—formed by the dentary condyle and the squamosal glenoid fossa, which replaced the reptilian articular–quadrate ...
A fish thought to be evolution’s time capsule just surprised scientists. A detailed dissection of the coelacanth — a 400-million-year-old species often called a “living fossil” — revealed that key ...
Researchers have traced cell origins critical to vertebrate evolution by studying a group of primitive, bloodsucking fish called lampreys. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
A new study has rewritten a key chapter in the story of vertebrate evolution. Researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Smithsonian Institution in the United States have ...
Vertebrate morphology exhibits remarkable diversity, reflecting a complex interplay of developmental processes, genetic regulation and environmental pressures. This variation arises from a combination ...
During the course of evolution, the mammalian cranio-mandibular secondary joint—formed by the dentary condyle and the squamosal glenoid fossa, which replaced the reptilian articular–quadrate ...
About 445 million years ago, Earth’s oceans turned into a danger zone. Glaciers spread across the supercontinent Gondwana, ...
Bucknell University Professor Jeffrey Trop, geology & environmental geosciences, is one of the recipients of a National Science Foundation (NSF) $148,000 collaborative grant supporting research that ...
