Mammals are a bit odd when it comes to bones. Rather than the bony plates and scales of crocodiles, turtles, lizards, dinosaurs and fish, mammals long ago traded in their ancestral suit of armor for a layer of insulating hair. Armadillos, with their protective and flexible shell of imbricated bon

Fossils show ancient primates had grooming claws as well as nails – Research News

https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/ancient-primates-had-grooming-claws/

Humans and other primates are outliers among mammals for having nails instead of claws. But how, when and why we transitioned from claws to nails has been an evolutionary head-scratcher. Now, new fossil evidence shows that ancient primates – including one of the oldest known, Teilhardina brandti

A 3-inch, monogamous, hermaphrodite proves the saying “there’s plenty more fish in the sea” isn’t always the case. For the tiny fish found in the coral reefs off Panama, a lifelong relationship with its partner doesn’t come without some give and take. In fact, the faithful pair owe their evolutiona

It takes a village: Study shows community is key to a sustained passion for science among adolescents – Research News

https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/it-takes-a-village-study-shows-community-is-key-to-a-sustained-passion-for-science-among-adolescents/

The results of a yearlong science program show that one of the best ways to instill a lasting interest in science among children is to engage them alongside their family members. This finding runs counter to the current framework, in which children attend science-related summer camps and after-schoo
STEM interests,” said study co-author Gail Jones, alumni distinguished graduate professor
