Ocean health 66 million years ago analysed in an international study with the participation of EHU researcher Vicente Gilabert and published in Nature Communications
Human eyes are complex and irreparable, yet they are structurally like those of the freshwater apple snail, which can completely regenerate its eyes. A new study shows that apple snail and human eyes share many anatomical and genetic features.
New research from the University of Zurich suggests that gorillas may be using a similar strategy as humans: when moving to a new social group, female gorillas seek out groups containing females they have lived with in the past and avoid males they grew up with.
A new paper in Annals of Botany indicates that pollination can have a dramatic effect on how plants grow and change. The study shows that when plants and pollinators become uncoordinated (even for a brief time) that can change who reproduces best and alter plant diversity. The paper offers new insights into how evolution works in real time.
A robot crab has helped scientists understand how male fiddler crabs compete over females.
Biologists at the University of Cincinnati discovered that some cockroaches, like people, need more sleep when they’re pregnant. And baby cockroaches need the mom to sleep longer for proper development.
