The dire wolf is a canine species that has been extinct for around 10,000 years, having lived up to 250,000 years ago. Living ...

Colossal Bioscience says it has “de-extincted” the dire wolf, but other scientists disagree and say more important ...

Deep-sea fish adapt to some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. New research analyzing their evolution finds the same mutation across fish species that have evolved on separate timelines — ...

Results of study led by investigators at the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO) show convergent genetic adaptation ...

New research shows planktivores display the widest range of body forms of any feeding group among reef fishes.

Shrimp look an awful lot like bugs. The exoskeletons, jointed legs and compound eyes of both groups of living things give ...
