How did vertebrates first evolve jaws?
Five-hundred million years ago, it was relatively safe to go back in the water. That's because creatures of the deep had not yet evolved jaws. In a new pair of studies in eLife and Development, scientists reveal clues about the origin of this thrilli.....»»
Solving the paradox of how animals managed to evolve with bright colors without being eaten
A trio of evolutionary biologists, two with Carleton University, the other with Seoul National University, has apparently solved the paradox of aposematism—how animals managed to evolve with bright colors to warn predators of their toxic nature. In.....»»
Fundamental constants: Is the universe fine-tuned for life?
Imagine a universe with extremely strong gravity. Stars would be able to form from very little material. They would be smaller than in our universe and live for a much shorter amount of time. But could life evolve there? It took human life billions o.....»»
How James Webb is peering into galaxies to see stars being born
Researchers are using the James Webb Space Telescope to study galaxies similar to our Milky Way to understand how they grow and evolve......»»
Jewel beetles evolve to see new colors by duplicating their genes
Jewel beetles are striking insects, easily recognized by their vivid colors and metallic sheen. Possessing large, well-developed eyes, jewel beetles use vision and color for a range of different behaviors, including finding mates and host plants......»»

Habitat split may impact disease risk in amphibians and other vertebrates
Habitat split is a common event in the environment that occurs when different classes of natural habitats, such as forests and water, are disconnected. As a consequence, the movement of organisms between these environments is disrupted, which can be.....»»

New insights into chordate body plan development answer long-standing questions on evolution
Life began on Earth more than 3.5 billion years ago, but the history of humans and other vertebrates accounts for only a fraction of this timescale. Chordates (a group that includes vertebrates) and echinoderms (like starfish and sea urchins) are bel.....»»
ChatGPT could be an effective and affordable tutor
Imagine a private tutor that never gets tired, has access to massive amounts of data and is free for everyone. In 1966, Stanford philosophy professor Patrick Suppes did just that when he made this prediction: One day, computer technology would evolve.....»»
