Understanding both the role of selection in driving phenotypic change and its underlying genetic basis remain major challenges in evolutionary biology. Here, we use modern tools to revisit a classic ...

As early vertebrates emerged from the water, their tails may have played a crucial role in helping them move across land, a new study reports. The results, based on animal and robot models, as well as ...

Several people compared him to a stuffed animal, saying he looked too perfect to be real. Others joked that “the tail needs its own house,” while many simply described the cat as “majestic.” The post ...

Researchers find that the molecular mechanisms underlying tail regeneration in West African lungfish are similar to those seen in amphibians, suggesting the trait evolved in a common ancestor. For ...

Losing their kitten features is part of every cat's growth journey, but the process rarely follows a predictable path. What starts out small and subtle can turn bold and exaggerated as time passes.

For most vertebrates, losing a limb is permanent, but a lucky few species -- such as salamanders and tadpoles -- have the ability to completely regrow complex body parts. Understanding the molecular ...

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has thrown some wild revelations at the world of the Hidden Leaf Village. With Boruto Uzumaki now the most wanted fugitive in Konoha thanks to the powers of Eida, a new force ...

A tiny spider frozen in 100-million-year-old amber is changing what scientists thought they knew about spider evolution. This ...

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- Robots wag their tail fins and bob along like bathtub toys in a pool at a Vassar College lab. Their actions are dictated by microprocessors housed in round plastic containers, ...
