For a quarter century, public health officials have spoken about bats with a kind of nervous shorthand. They are reservoirs ...

From quantum computing to deep learning and ancient protein analysis, scientists are revolutionizing how we reconstruct the tree of life. Modern phylogenetic methods now merge molecular, morphological ...

Bicharracosaurus dionidei, a newly discovered long-necked dinosaur species, is reshaping how scientists understand the ...

Researchers have provided new insights into the evolutionary origin of sideways walking in crabs. Their study, published ...

Scientists have formally described a new species of Dillenia from a single site in Manipur's remote Choro village, Kamjong ...

Sequencing the DNA of all complex life in the UK and Ireland could generate up to almost £3 billion for the economy across ...

The frogs were sitting low over dark, slow-moving streams, their bodies bright green against moss, bromeliads, and sandstone. At night, on a plateau in southern Ecuador, they looked almost simple at ...

This project implements a GPU-accelerated phylogenetic tree construction pipeline using MASH distance metrics and the neighbor joining algorithm. The implementation accelerates the computation of ...

Most phylogenies exist in academic papers and remain difficult to interpret. Cornell’s Birds of the World Phylogeny Explorer puts those relationships into a visual, searchable tool. Users can explore ...

Birds are extraordinary in their diversity, ecological breadth, and global distribution. This makes them a powerful system to study ecology and evolution, particularly as large-scale datasets on ...

Archipelagoes present exciting opportunities to understand the process of adaptive radiation. To better understand the roles of hybridization, geographic isolation, and trait divergence in adaptive ...
