Plants’ drought alert system has unlikely evolutionary origin: underwater algae – Research News

https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/plants-drought-alert-system/

Plants’ water-to-land leap marks one of the most important milestones in the evolution of life on Earth. But how plants managed this transition when faced with unfamiliar challenges such as drought and bright light has been unclear. Now, a new study shows that the built-in alert system that enabl
Much drought research has focused on model plants and crops, such as corn.

Only bite what you can swallow – Andrei Sourakov | Lepidoptera Collections Coordinator

https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/andrei-sourakov/activities/only-bite-what-you-can-swallow/

Last week, I was about to go to work, when I spotted a drama unfolding on my window: a green anole had captured a sphinx moth. Of course, I had to stop and investigate. Moth predation by anoles is not something worth blogging about in its own right, but this sphinx moth was the size of the anole’s

Evolution of Terrestrial Locomotion – Ichthyology

https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/fish/terrestrial-locomotion-evolution-cave-angelfish/

At first glance, the Cave Angelfish, Cryptotora thamicola, doesn’t seem that different from other cave fishes. It’s blind, it lives in caves, and it only grows to about an inch and a half long at adulthood. You certainly wouldn’t expect it to be able to climb up waterfalls. How does this small pi
