The Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is the oldest U.S. military installation on foreign soil. It was established at the end of the Spanish-American war and celebrated its centennial in 2003. Although it recently was relegated to what the Navy terms “minimum pillar” or its lowest level of operati

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
likely developed independently several times along the lines

In a surprise twist, a major group of flowering plants is evolving twice as quickly in temperate zones as the tropics. The finding runs counter to a long-held hypothesis that tropical regions, home to the planet’s richest biological diversity, outpace their temperate counterparts in producing new sp
tropical rosid lineages are represented by orange lines

Cattle may seem like uniquely American animals, steeped in the lore of cowboys, cattle drives and sprawling ranches. But cattle didn’t exist on the American continents prior to the arrival of the Spanish, who brought livestock with them from Europe by way of the Canary Islands. In a new study, re
Both these lines of evidence made us think there was

By Sarah Widlansky | PCP PIRE Intern The time between when a fossil is collected in the field and made part of a museum exhibit or research project is filled with many painstaking hours of work called fossil preparation. Fossil preparation is the process of cleaning, stabilizing and repairing a

Worldwide, there are only 75 known instances of unprovoked bull shark attacks and 23 human fatalities on record in the International Shark Attack File, a global database housed at the Florida Museum of Natural History. But because so little is known about bull shark, scientists are not able to predi
sharks can be caught accidentally on commercial long lines

The showy colors of some butterflies could advertise their speed and nimbleness, much like a coat of bright yellow paint on a sports car. A new study shows birds can learn to recognize these visual cues, avoiding not only butterflies they’ve failed to nab in the past but similar-looking species as w
for example, sport bright wing patterns of black lines

The number of unprovoked shark attacks worldwide decreased last year, tying with 2020 for the fewest number of reported incidents in the last 10 years. According to the University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File, there were a total of 57 unprovoked bites in 2022, most of which occurred
prompted by mitigating circumstances, such as fishing lines

Researchers, educators, students and the curious can explore the history of Florida’s Spanish missions via a new online database. Launched Wednesday, the Comparative Mission Archaeology Portal includes digitized artifacts, image galleries, personal narratives and details of excavation sites. Unde

In a pair of complementary studies, researchers take a close look at Luna moth (Actias luna) tails through the eyes of birds and female moths to test their role in predation and sexual selection. Scientists have known for about a decade that Luna moths — and other related silkmoths — use their long,
