E. O. Wilson once referred to invertebrates as “the little things that run the world,� without whom “the human species [wouldn’t] last more than a few months.� Although small, invertebrates have an outsized influence on their environments, pollinating plants, breaking down organic matter and speedin

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

The inaugural Black in Natural History Museums Week, Oct. 17-23, is an online social media festival that acknowledges, unites and celebrates Black people who work in natural history museums. Inspired by the “Black in X” social media campaigns, the week begins with a virtual roll call: a chance fo

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

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
Models of the fossils are available on Morphosource, an open-access repository of

Current models struggle with accurately forecasting extreme heat and heavy rainfall

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
