Our bodies are teeming with more than 35 trillion bacteria, coexisting in microbiomes inside our guts, mouths, lungs, skin and urogenital tract. While it's now clear these microbes are associated with ...

The first bird to inhabit Earth used its robust hind legs to make two or three powerful leaps while flapping its way to flight, according to a study by the University of Southampton published in ...

As embryonic tissues develop, cells undergo progressive changes in their form and function. Signals, in the form of ligands, metabolites, and mechanical cues, guide cells to select between ...

This important work combines theoretical analysis with precise experimental perturbation to demonstrate that the Wnt signaling pathway is characterized by anti-resonance, or a suppression of pathway ...

Overall growth in revenues, capital, and activity among leading companies reflect the field’s increasing importance as highlighted in this year’s Top 10 Spatial Biology Companies of 2025. The below Up ...

Eco-evo-devo (ecological evolutionary developmental biology) has emerged as a highly active field of research, aiming to understand how environmental cues, developmental mechanisms, and evolutionary ...

We’ve all heard it before: “You are the way you are because of your genes.” And yes, biology does shape us. But it’s not the entire story and definitely not the final one. Our genes don’t hand us a ...

From mid-2027, the government will divert children with mild and moderate developmental delay and autism away from the NDIS and onto a program called Thriving Kids. The government is also considering ...

Phenotypic traits, such as vertebrate teeth size, evolve at different rates, and these rates may differ among groups of organisms. For example, molar size may change in one vertebrate clade while ...

A spat between birds at a backyard birdfeeder highlights the sometimes fierce competition for resources that animals face in the natural world, but some ecologically similar species appear to coexist ...
