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

The drill holes left in fossil shells by hunters such as snails and slugs show marine predators have grown steadily bigger and more powerful over time but stuck to picking off small prey, rather than using their added heft to pursue larger quarry, new research shows. The study, published today in
percent of shell area drilled by predators increased 67-fold over the past 500 million

Most bats patrol the night sky in search of insects. New World leaf-nosed bats take a different approach. Among the more than 200 species of leaf-nosed bats, there are those that hunt insects; drink nectar; eat fruit; munch pollen; suck blood; and prey on frogs, birds, lizards and even other bats. T
They’re also the oldest bat fossils from Central America, preserved 20-million years

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

The 2025 Florida legislative session came to an end on June 26th, after two extensions, as lawmakers approved a $115.1 billion state budget, a $3 billion decrease compared to the current fiscal year.  The budget includes more than $1.5 billion for restoration and protection projects. Land acquisiti

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

We get questions like this a lot. This question came by tweet. We turned to Richard Hulbert, Florida Museum’s vertebrate paleontology collection manager, for a concise answer. The short version: The shark teeth found in Gainesville creeks are true fossils as that term is used by paleontologis
Most fossil shark teeth in local creeks are about 9-10 million years old, and there

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
