The spring sun glinted off the cars rolling through Ichetucknee Springs State Park, but the caravan wasn’t headed to the park’s famous recreation spots. It was there for conservation, and the scientists in the lead were towing the precious cargo: tiny green caterpillars. Entering a trail road typica
After a quick, nonharmful sample is taken, a DNA analysis can reveal the identity

Last week, Glaucia Del-Rio officially stepped into her role as curator of ornithology at the Florida Museum of Natural History. She replaces retired curator David Steadman, who held the position between 1995 and 2021. Del-Rio was raised in São Paulo, Brazil, a sprawling urban complex with high-ri
With no obvious explanation for their behavior, Del-Rio began looking for clues in DNA

The „Active File“ The active file is one of the user created data files where labels are stored. This file is a Microsoft Visual FoxPro table composed of a file ending with the *.plw extension and another ending with *.fpt (e.g., MyPlabelFile.plw, MyPlabelFile.fpt). These two files are critical if

It is of vital importance to, on occasion, consider how little we know about the spinning rock we all live on. Take coral reefs, for example. Given how much they’ve been studied, you’d think we’ve learned just about everything about them by now. But talk to a marine biologist, and they will quickly
Then DNA sequencing was invented, and it quickly became apparent just how insufficient

Florida Museum of Natural History scientists have found the first nest of Florida’s extraordinarily rare blue calamintha bee and added a new location to its known range: Ocala National Forest. They also confirmed the insect feeds on a second, but highly endangered, host plant. Researchers made th
DNA analysis will help reveal how genetically isolated the bee’s populations may

The University of Florida’s Florida Museum of Natural History celebrated 100 years of inspiring people to care about life on Earth in 2017. To mark the closing of an era and the beginning of a new century, UF News profiled three Florida Museum women who are shaping the research institution’s future

A new study shows the eye size of birds can reveal broad patterns of their biology and behavior, including where they live, what they eat and how they hunt, providing a potential roadmap for future conservation efforts. Birds have some of the largest eyes relative to their bodies of all verteb

Fossils of bizarre, armored amphibians known as albanerpetontids provide the oldest evidence of a slingshot-style tongue, a new Science study shows. Despite having lizardlike claws, scales and tails, albanerpetontids – mercifully called “albies” for short – were amphibians, not reptiles. Their li

When asked if mountains grow slowly and steadily versus in rapid spurts, most people intuitively gravitate to the „slow and steady“ model. Mountains, we are taught, take an incomprehensibly long time to build up their scads of boulders, jagged peaks and high-altitude plateaus. In fact, most known
