Vertebrates have extremely different brain sizes: even with the same body size, brain size can vary a hundredfold. As a rule, mammals and birds have the largest brains in relation to their body size, ...

The evolution of vertebrates is a story that stretches back over half a billion years. Among the most remarkable discoveries are fossils of myllokunmingiids, prehistoric jawless fish from the Cambrian ...

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously thought, but also in echinoderms (invertebrates). This is one of the most ...

The study has revealed unexpected and sex-specific effects of germline regulation on longevity and somatic repair in vertebrates. Contrary to classical evolutionary theories, it turns out that ...

A study published in Nature on July 4 by Prof. Zhu Bing from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shed light on the conserved mechanism responsible for the initiation of ...

Humans tend to put our own intelligence on a pedestal. Our brains can do math, employ logic, explore abstractions and think critically. But we can’t claim a monopoly on thought. Among a variety of ...

Researchers have discovered that spider webs serve as fascinating collectors of genetic material from nearby vertebrates. In ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have discovered that the plasticizers DEHP and DINP have negative effects on normal brain function in vertebrates. These plasticizers are used in products ...
