Scientists and imaging specialists have teamed up to help save one of the world’s most endangered groups of animals: freshwater mussels. With funding provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Conservation Training Center, imaging experts will create 3D shell models based on specimens
Giving someone the opportunity to hold a lifelike mussel shell in their hand is an

A recent paleontology exhibit at the Florida Museum of Natural History put fossils and scientists on full display. The exhibit featured a live laboratory in which paleontologists and volunteers cleaned and prepared specimens from Montbrook, a nearby fossil site with animal remains that have been pre

In a pair of complementary studies, researchers take a close look at Luna moth (Actias luna) tails through the eyes of birds and female moths to test their role in predation and sexual selection. Scientists have known for about a decade that Luna moths — and other related silkmoths — use their long,
