Doug and Pam Soltis of the Florida Museum of Natural History were recognized last month as being in the top 1% of highly cited researchers. This year’s list, which was curated and published by the analytical organization Clarivate, lauded researchers from around the world whose work has significantl

On first inspection, the Cuban blue-headed quail dove doesn’t look like much: drab brown feathers, a slender beak, a pronounced strut in their walk typical of most other doves. You’d be forgiven for overlooking it in favor of Cuba’s prismatic parrots. But looks aren’t everything. For decades, this u

Sea anemones are soft-bodied, underwater predators known for their bright colors, flowerlike arrangement of tentacles and the tendency to eat just about anything they can catch and fit into their mouths. In line with this last trait, researchers examining the gut contents of the giant plumose anemon
The study marks the first time DNA sequencing has been used to analyze the diet of
It was home to Native Americans as early as 12,000 B.C., then settlers during the Civil War. Its pine trees contributed to the early 20th century turpentine industry, and for millennia its plants and wildlife have been fueled by an unlikely life source—forest fires. The 9,700-acre Ordway-Swisher
