Amphibians are exceptionally good at being small. There are salamanders the size of your thumb nail, pygmy newts that live in moss patches and feast on microscopic insects, and inch-long African frogs that spend their entire lives in and around the banks of small puddles. In fact, the title for the

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Museum of Natural History and the Alachua County Library District have partnered to produce the National Endowment of the Arts Big Read Alachua County – a series of free events that build community and highlight women in science. The NEA Big Read is a program des
The events aim to provide role models for future scientists and inspire curiosity

To be fair, the newly described Waray dwarf burrowing snake is pretty great at hiding. In its native habitat on the islands of Samar and Leyte in the Philippines, the snake usually surfaces only after heavy rains, similar to earthworms washing up on suburban sidewalks after a downpour. So, it
Models of the fossils are available on MorphoSource, an open-access repository of

We are excited to welcome our newest curator, Vaughn Shirey, to the Florida Museum of Natural History. Working in the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, Shirey will help study, grow and digitize our moth and butterfly collections. Shirey is a conservation biologist who uses museum s
scientist is compiling large and disparate datasets and sieving them through computer models

Humans and other primates are outliers among mammals for having nails instead of claws. But how, when and why we transitioned from claws to nails has been an evolutionary head-scratcher. Now, new fossil evidence shows that ancient primates – including one of the oldest known, Teilhardina brandti

To pair with the rest of our educational content in each Earth to Florida newsletter, we bring you monthly updates on statewide environmental news. Read on below to see what we found over the past month: 10 Florida Stories to Watch Brevard County’s Grand Canal muck dredging project, part of
Current models struggle with accurately forecasting extreme heat and heavy rainfall

The National Science Foundation has awarded emergency funding to archaeologists at three institutions to survey cultural heritage sites damaged by Hurricane Ian earlier this year. Researchers from the Florida Museum of Natural History, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Georgia coll
Gauthier plans to combine all this information with models of increasing hurricane

The University of Florida’s Florida Museum of Natural History celebrated 100 years of inspiring people to care about life on Earth in 2017. To mark the closing of an era and the beginning of a new century, UF News profiled three Florida Museum women who are shaping the research institution’s future
She hopes that, ultimately, “a greater diversity of role models in science will translate

These days, climate change is a hot topic. What will happen as temperatures rise more rapidly than humans have documented in modern history? Will birds and mammals flock or will they be able to acclimate? Who will become extinct? In recent years, scientists have strived to understand the a

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
