Hidden away in museums for more than 100 years, some recently rediscovered flatfish fossils have filled a puzzling gap in the story of evolution and answered a question that initially stumped even ...

Every summer there’s a snowfall in the sea. Instead of drifting down, it falls up, and rather than flakes of ice, it’s made of innumerable diaphanous eggs that rise from the bottom of the ocean to the ...

Imagine watching a movie where every now and then, key frames have been cut out. The film seems stilted and disjointed and you have to rely on logic to fill in the gaps in the plots. Evolutionary ...

Here's how to grill a whole flatfish, such as sole, fluke, or flounder, and serve it with a simple lemon-herb butter. Jodie Kautzmann is an editor, baker, and confectioner with more than 15 years of ...

Many of us, including scientists, have wondered how fish like sole and flounder ended up with two eyes on one side of their heads; flatfish are probably the most asymmetric vertebrates on the planet.

Evolutionary biologists have floundered when trying to explain how the asymmetrical head of flatfishes came about. 'Gradually' is the answer arising from exquisite studies of 45-million-year-old ...

HOUSTON - (May 3, 2021) - Ever look at a flatfish like a flounder or sole, with two eyes on one side of its head, and think, "How did that happen?" You're in luck. Rice University biologist Kory Evans ...

The mimic octopus, which can imitate flatfish and sea snakes to dupe potential predators, may well be the king of impersonation. By creatively configuring its limbs, adopting characteristic undulating ...

Kwikfish, Lazy Ike, Flatfish, Mag Lip. All these lures are essentially the same in design and function. If you’re a salmon angler in the Pacific Northwest or a big-water walleye chaser, you’re ...

The flesh of flatfish should be in a fairly rigid state or feel firm to the touch. Any sticky, gelatinous liquid on the fish should be clear and not congealing. As these fish lose their condition they ...

Flatfishes rapidly evolved into the most asymmetric vertebrates by changing multiple traits at once, according to a new study. Ever look at a flatfish like a flounder or sole, with two eyes on one ...
