As an environmental engineering major at the University of Florida, I’ve always looked for ways to get more involved in the sustainability and conservation side of my field, beyond the technical focus found in most of my STEM courses. Last semester, when I started seeking out new opportunities I end

Researchers at the Florida Museum of Natural History and the University of Winnipeg have developed the first detailed images of a primitive primate brain, unexpectedly revealing that cousins of our earliest ancestors relied on smell more than sight. The analysis of a well-preserved skull from
“Hypotheses about early primate brain evolution often link keen smell with nocturnal
A butterfly’s wings are more than just eye-catching flight gear. A new study reveals microscopic structures that give butterflies their vibrant colors can also play a vital role in how butterflies adapt to extreme climates. Like shingles on a roof, these microstructures interlock to trap and rele
This study could provide the “missing link” in scientists’ understanding of how butterflies
Florida scientists have tagged a deep-sea shark from a submersible, a historic first that took three expeditions, more than 2,000 pounds of bait, custom-built spear guns and over a dozen tries. After multiple attempts were scuppered by bad weather, misfiring spear guns, an interloping grouper and

When Charles Darwin journeyed to the Galapagos Islands in the 1830s, he collected some mysterious birds that later helped shape his theory of evolution by natural selection. Dubbed „Darwin’s finches,“ they became famous as an example of adaptive radiation, in which animals evolve from a common ances

Some male butterflies go to extreme lengths to ensure their paternity – sealing their mate’s genitalia with a waxy “chastity belt” to prevent future liaisons. But female butterflies can fight back by evolving larger or more complex organs that are tougher to plug. Males, in turn, counterattack by fa
