McCarty Woods is a 2.9-acre conservation area at the heart of the University of Florida’s central campus. The beautiful, species-diverse woodland is beloved by staff, students, faculty and the public and is one of the last remaining green spaces on the original campus grounds. Because of its prim
Advancement of Science Evolution Ferns finally get a genome, revealing a history of DNA

Our recent Florida Museum Science Night at Rawlings Elementary school was hands-on science fun for the whole family. This was the third time we’ve held the Science Night at Rawlings Elementary school and this year we had record breaking attendance! For the first time ever we had attendance in t

Some might say it takes a rare breed to survive the Alaska wilderness. The discovery of a possible new species of hybrid butterfly from the state’s interior is proving that theory correct. Belonging to a group known as the Arctics, the Tanana Arctic, Oeneis tanana, is the first new butterfly
It also has a unique DNA sequence, which is nearly identical to those found in nearby

It’s always lovely to change over to a new year. The DE team started with some mini sessions of department time to reflect on what we worked on in 2023, breaking down our wins and challenges. We then looked ahead at the upcoming year, identifying our internal goals, scheduling anticipated Museum pro
Cattle DNA: Nicolas and the NSF podcast: In the wake of the wildly popular story

Collecting seashells on the beach is a wildly popular hobby here in Florida. Beyond the sometimes exquisite beauty of these shells, they tell incredible stories of life in our oceans. Scientists and amateur collectors alike study shells and the animals that create them to better understand our natur

When it comes to public access, the tree of life has holes. A new study co-authored by University of Florida researchers shows about 70 percent of published genetic sequence comparisons are not publicly accessible, leaving researchers worldwide unable to get to critical data they may need to
Most journals require DNA sequences be deposited in GenBank, but comparatively few

Brazilian free-tailed bats are expert flyers, capable of migrating hundreds of miles and regularly traveling more than 30 miles a night. But they pull up short at a narrow ocean channel that cuts across the Bahamas, dividing bat populations that last shared an ancestor hundreds of thousands of years
