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

Many folks seem to be under the mistaken impression that a herbarium is a place where herbs are grown. Actually, it’s a collection of plant specimens preserved, labeled and stored in an organized manner that facilitates access. You can think of it as a library of dried plant specimens used fo
