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.....»»
Paleontologists find the jaws of an extremely rare bear in Taurida cave
Ural paleontologists discovered the lower jaws of an Etruscan bear from the Early Pleistocene (2–1.5 million years ago) in the Taurida Cave (Crimean Peninsula). Scientists reported the finding in the international journal of paleobiology Historical.....»»

How do genomes evolve between species? Team explores the key role of 3D structure in male germ cells
A study led by scientists at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and University of Kent uncovers how the genome three-dimensional structure of male germ cells determines how genomes evolve over time. Published in Nature Communications and ca.....»»
Chronobiologists identify key circadian clock mechanism in cyanobacteria
Researchers have identified a key mechanism involved with the setting of the circadian clock of cyanobacteria—a model organism for study by chronobiologists due to the organism having one of the earliest circadian systems to evolve, and thus shinin.....»»
Jaws hold crucial knowledge on the fate of sharks
Jaws was the only word needed to give the iconic 1970's thriller about a great white with a preference for humans its eerie title. Though a strong and important player at the top of the foodchain, sharks face a range of enemies: overfishing, habitat.....»»
Eight years later, an explosion far out in space is still revealing secrets about the lives of stars
An international group of astronomers has uncovered new clues about a mysterious stellar explosion that was discovered eight years ago, but is continuing to evolve even as scientists watch......»»
Researchers reveal activation mechanism of thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor
Thyroid hormone (TH) plays a multifunctional role in metabolism and development in vertebrates. The synthesis and secretion of TH is determined by the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. The tripeptide thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH, pGlu-.....»»
Additions to natural history collections declining
A new study from the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates reveals that new additions of vertebrate specimens to natural history collections are declining precipitously. The authors suggest that it is vital to maintain collecting efforts in order.....»»
Snakes and lizards evolve minus key T cells
The slow-moving Australian sleepy lizard has raised new questions about vertebrate immunity after the surprise discovery of the evolutionary disappearance of genes needed for some T cell production in squamates......»»

The Best All-in-One Printers
As technology has continued to evolve, so too have printers. They no longer just print paper anymore, but they scan documents, copy them, fax them, and more. As time goes by, printers have become more accessible for people, and more individuals have.....»»
Experiments show efficient strategies evolve better over generations when people have a choice of a better teacher
A quartet of researchers, three from Princeton University, the other the University of California, Berkely has found via experimentation that strategies for solving problems become more efficient over generations when the people involved are able to.....»»
Social acceptance of geothermal energy: Visualizing consensus building using models
Researchers from Tohoku University modeled the process by which public opinions evolve regarding the development of a geothermal power plant......»»
Ocean life may adapt to climate change, but with hidden costs
Suppose that we could watch twenty generations of whales or sharks adapting to climate change—measuring how they evolve and how their biology changes as temperatures and carbon dioxide levels rise. That could tell us a lot about how resilient life.....»»
Ancient ancestors evolved to be strong and snappy, study finds
Researchers led by the University of Bristol show that the earliest jaws in the fossil record were caught in a trade-off between maximizing their strength and their speed......»»
New research reveals clues to how antibodies become fine-tuned to fight infection
Researchers at the University of Alberta have uncovered new information about a cellular mechanism in the immune system that provides a critical step toward better understanding how antibodies evolve and improve in the human body......»»
Neuron counts reveal brain complexity evolution in land vertebrates
Researchers from the Charles University in Prague reconstructed the evolution of brain neuron numbers in amniotes and revealed that mammals and birds have dramatically increased neuron numbers in brain parts associated with higher cognition. These fi.....»»
