A bold project to read the complete genetic sequences of every known vertebrate species reaches its first milestone by publishing new methods and the first 25 high-quality genomes. It's one of the ...
A cheetah pouncing on a gazelle. A bear snatching a fish out of the water with its claws. And the most dangerous predator of them all? A human and their pet bird dancing to “Gangnam Style.” Scientists ...
AbstractThe usefulness of ecoregions and catchments (hydrologic units) as bases for classifying aquatic vertebrate assemblages in western Oregon was compared using samples collected by electrofishing ...
Humans have a ''disproportionately huge effect'' on the other species of vertebrates that share Earth's surface with us, causing more than 25 percent of the deaths among an array of species all over ...
Dec. 12 (UPI) --Researchers in Australia have developed a new genetic analysis method capable of predicting the lifespan of vertebrate species. The so-called "lifespan clock" -- described Thursday in ...
This study attempts to correlate the amounts of DNA per nucleus in the various vertebrate classes with patterns of evolutionary change proposed by Simpson and by Rendel. It is suggested that an ...
The fossil of an ancient sea squirt found in a collection at the Utah Museum of Natural History turned out to be the oldest of its kind. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
