Deep in the forests of Haiti lives the blue-eyed La Hotte glanded frog (Eleutherodactylus glandulifer), which once went 20 years without being observed by scientists. It belongs to a diverse genus from the Caribbean that also includes the much more common coquí frog (Eleutherodactylus coquí), a cult

Three grants from the National Science Foundation will enable the Florida Museum of Natural History’s invertebrate zoology division to contribute crucial specimen data and images to online research networks. The grants represent the first two major funding initiatives to digitize modern marine organ

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

Tropical turtle fossils discovered in Wyoming by University of Florida scientists reveal that when the earth got warmer, prehistoric turtles headed north. But if today’s turtles try the same technique to cope with warming habitats, they might run into trouble. While the fossil turtle and its

Horses disappeared from Europe in the Oligocene, but persisted in North America. Many other ancient mammals of the Eocene died out while the perissodactyls — horses, rhinos, the rhino-like titanotheres — became more diverse. The name Oligocene (Oligo—few; cene—recent) means that very few ex

The Florida Museum of Natural History’s Division of Invertebrate Zoology will incorporate new collections with the help of a National Science Foundation grant. The division’s collection has more than doubled in size in the past 15 years, and the nearly $402,000 award will create space for this ex

Plants are DNA hoarders. Adhering to the maxim of never throwing anything out that might be useful later, they often duplicate their entire genome and hang on to the added genetic baggage. All those extra genes are then free to mutate and produce new physical traits, hastening the tempo of evolution
gymnosperms might have directly contributed to the origin of the group over 350 million
