While a clear night sky might seem quiet and peaceful to us, empty of everything but stars, this nocturnal world is filled with a high-pitched cacophony of sound just beyond our ability to hear. Bats pierce the shadows with ultrasonic pulses that enable them to construct an auditory map of their sur

When lice attack, it’s hard to call it a blessing. People have been tormented by the blood-sucking parasites for thousands of years, awaiting the latest technology to annihilate them. But some researchers are counting their lice and shipping them to genetics laboratories, where they are used to unl
His latest study used DNA sequencing to calculate when clothing lice first began

Globally acclaimed artist and beloved Florida Museum of Natural History collaborator Naziha Mestaoui passed away on April 29. She was 44 years old. Mestaoui’s interactive, grand-scale outdoor projections highlighted the connections between all living things, and the Paris-based artist was per
Her projections also included a score generated by translating DNA sequences into

In a new study, biologists laid to rest a century-old debate by confirming that a single species of frog, out of the more than 7,000 living today, has true teeth on its lower jaw. The culprit, a large marsupial frog named Gastrotheca guentheri, has puzzled scientists since its discovery in 1882 for

Elizabeth “Liz� Wing arrived at the University of Florida in the mid-1950s with little more than a suitcase, less than a decade after the school began accepting women. As a master’s student with an incurable curiosity for “anything that cracked or crawled,� Wing was interested in animal anatomy a

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

There is an indelible connection between storytelling and wanderlust. The person who asks the questions and goes searching for answers down unmarked paths often returns to tell us about what they found. We like to think scientists live this life, especially paleontologists. The journey to find fo

Located in Osceola County, Florida, near Yeehaw Junction, the DeLuca Preserve was donated to the University of Florida Foundation by Elisabeth DeLuca in November 2020. This 27,000-acre property, originally slated for housing and economic development, encompasses a mixed landscape of cattle ranchland
Using traditional survey methods, specimens collected will contribute to a DNA barcode

I have been working on moths known as Erythrina Stem Borer (or twig borer) since 2010, which turned out to be several similar species with similar biologies found around the world. Suddenly, and rather unexpectedly, the moths have become a major horticultural pest in southern California, where Eryth
This was also confirmed by DNA sequencing.

University of Florida scientists teamed up with acclaimed artists to create two multimedia art pieces about the connections between all life forms. The new pieces – a two-story-tall interactive light projection and an animated film – premiered November 2017 in a series of special events at the Fl
