The spindly filaments and coral-like colonies of the ancient phylum of marine animals known as bryozoans likely aren’t the first thing that come to mind when you envision safe and protective child care. But a new study on the 600-million-year history of these obscure animals highlights the import
Cheilostomes are great model systems because they preserve well, and their reproductive

A paradox presents itself frequently at the Calusa Heritage Trail as visitors gripping the newest smart phones express pleasure that pieces of the past are preserved and valued. They ponder shells comprising the bulk of mounds that stood through centuries of human experiences and view illustrated po
Further, they note that their model did not account for the “conservative estimate

University of Florida researchers are taking down the Plexiglas walls between museum collections and K-12 classrooms with an educational program that uses 3-D printed fossils and hands-on lessons to spark young learners’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math. Known as iDigFossils,

An international team of scientists has mapped the evolutionary relationships between China’s 30,000 flowering plant species, uncovering a distinct regional pattern in biodiversity. Eastern China is a floral “museum” with a rich array of ancient lineages and distant relatives while the western provi
Lead author Lu said the study provides a model for many other landscape-scale studies

The human environmental footprint is not only deep, but old. Ancient traces of this footprint can be found in animal bones, shells, scales and antlers at archaeological sites. Together, these specimens tell the millennia-long story of how humans have hunted, domesticated and transported animals,
We have a long human record that we can look back to and model off of.”

A new study shows urbanization is causing many mammal species to grow bigger, possibly because of readily available food in places packed with people. The finding runs counter to many scientists‘ hypothesis that cities would trigger mammals to get smaller over time. Buildings and roads trap and r

Ants offer a window into the scale of the invasive species problem and Florida hosts 12 of the worst invasive ant species worldwide.
Although discussed during the lesson, but not as part of the intended ant model,

Nitrogen fertilizers make it possible to feed the world’s growing population, but they are also costly, harm ecosystems and require a lot of energy to manufacture. However, a few plants have evolved the ability to make their own nitrogen with the help of bacteria. A new study helps explain how they
“Breeding and crop improvement efforts often focus on a single model species, which

In November 2019, visitors to Joshua Tree National Park in California encountered a strange sight. Joshua trees and closely related Mojave yuccas, which normally remain reproductively dormant until late spring, were in full bloom at the tail end of autumn. In a new study, researchers at the Flori

Taming a wild plant may not sound too ominous, unless you are a tiny moth and the plant is 8 feet tall and poisonous. Lepidopterist Andrei Sourakov with the Florida Museum of Natural History has been studying ornate bella moths, Utetheisa ornatrix, since 2010. His March 2015 study appearing in th
