Home - Environment - Scientists dropped just two brown anole lizards on each of several storm-swept Bahamian islands, and years later their descendants revealed something natural selection alone could not erase In May 2005, scientists released one male and one female brown anole…
During Japan’s rainy season and again in autumn, mushrooms often sprout on park lawns and sports fields. Scientists who study mushrooms, though, have paid far more attention to the fungi of forests. When researchers surveyed lawns in Japan, they found…
A new taxonomic study combining morphology, DNA phylogeny and haplotype networks resolves two cases of duplicate species publication in the Chinese plant genus Oreocharis. Subject of Research: Taxonomic revision of the flowering plant genus Oreocharis in China using morphology, molecular…
Researchers redescribed the killer whale amphipod Orcinocyamus orcini from a stranded orca in East Java and produced the species' first COI DNA sequences. Scientists have redescribed Orcinocyamus orcini, a tiny whale-louse amphipod found only on killer whales, using specimens collected…
A multigene phylogenetic study of Sporidesmium-related fungi resolves seven distinct lineages, establishing the new genus Lignosporidesmium and the new species Xenosporidesmium lignicola.
Guwahati, Oct 29 (PTI) A new gecko species has been discovered in Assam’s Dima Hasao district by Mizoram University researchers, state Forest and Climate Change Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah said on Thursday. In a social media post, he said that the…
A new review argues that no single genetic marker can reliably classify spongy moth subspecies, proposing instead an integrative diagnostic framework combining species identification, mitochondrial lineage, and genome-wide ancestry. Genomics Reshapes How Scientists Identify the Spongy Moth's Subspecies Subject of…
A new study of eight field bindweed accessions from Marsa Matrouh, Egypt, shows that flower color biotypes carry distinct morphological and genetic signatures, yet geography outweighs color in shaping genetic clustering.
Researchers report the first Czech record of the Mediterranean olive bark beetle Phloeotribus scarabaeoides, found breeding in imported olive stems in South Moravia in 2023 and classified as an accidental introduction. Larval galleries were very densely distributed along the egg galleries,…
