About 100 million years ago, a group of trendsetting moths started flying during the day rather than at night, taking advantage of nectar-rich flowers that had co-evolved with bees. This single event led to the evolution of all butterflies. Scientists have known the precise timing of this event s

Naturalists noticed declining populations of the once-common Carolina Parakeets as early as the 1830s. By the end of the 19th century, they were restricted to Florida. These eggs, collected on the Kissimmee Prairie, may be the last sign of this once common bird. Summary Carolina Parakeet Eggs (C
It is conceivable that some time not very far off it will be possible to extract DNA
New research indicating early humans acquired public lice from gorillas about 3.3 million years ago sheds new light on when humans started to lose their body hair as they migrated out of the trees and onto the savannah. Humans most likely got the gorilla’s lice from sleeping in their nests or
Because the human fossil record is patchy and finding early DNA samples is extremely
We had so much fun hosting the first Florida Museum Science Night of the year at Lawton Chiles Elementary School! Our education team taught a variety of science activities, each designed to explore physics in nature (sound and air), Florida Natural history, (fossils and insects), or build scienti

There are over 5,000 species of mammals worldwide and more are being discovered all the time. They range in size from the tiny bumblebee bat (1.5 grams) to the blue whale (over 100 tons). Mammals live in diverse habitats from desert to ocean. They fly, swim, run, glide, hop and much more. T
We can do this through a variety of methods, including DNA, morphology, and modelling
