Researchers have long thought that snail and clam shells found at Caribbean archaeological sites were evidence of “starvation food� eaten in times when other resources were lacking. Now, a University of Florida study suggests these shells may be evidence of children helping with the grocery shopping

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

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
