According to a well-studied but controversial principle known as Bergmann’s Rule, species tend to be larger in cold climates and smaller in warm ones. As human impacts heat the planet, will animals shrink over time? To test this, a new study, published today in Scientific Reports, analyzed 70 yea

Christopher Columbus’ accounts of the Caribbean include harrowing descriptions of fierce raiders who abducted women and cannibalized men – stories long dismissed as myths. But a new study suggests Columbus may have been telling the truth. Using the equivalent of facial recognition technology,
biological component brings the region’s history into sharper focus, said Ann Ross, a professor

As Earth’s climate continues to warm due to the emission of greenhouse gases, extreme and anomalous weather events are becoming more common. But predicting and analyzing the effects of what is, by definition, an anomaly can be tricky. Scientists say museum specimens can help. In the first study o

As a vegan and animal lover, lab technician Samantha Epstein had always envisioned a future working with wildlife. „I definitely love working with live specimens, studying their behavior,“ she said. „I never really thought I’d be working with dead stuff.“ Lab techs and volunteers are an in

The great white shark is one of the largest living predatory animals and a magnet for media sensationalism, yet its evolutionary history is as misunderstood as its role as a menace. Originally classified as a direct relative of megatooth sharks, the white shark’s evolutionary history has been

Florida Museum of Natural History researchers have discovered a 10-million-year-old Neotropical nursery area for the extinct megalodon shark in Panama, providing fossil evidence the fish used these types of areas to protect their young for millions of years. The article, which appeared in the journa

Florida Museum researchers‘ discovery of a giant fossilized snake in Colombia reveals a picture of warmer tropics ruled by beasts larger than anyone imagined. The largest snake the world has ever known – as long as a school bus and as heavy as a small car – ruled tropical ecosystems only 6 mi

According to a new study, children think they have less access to common measurement tools and toys around the house than their parents do. This was the unexpected result Megan Ennes and co-investigator Gail Jones discovered just before launching a year-long program to boost science engagement among
science identity,” said study co-author Gail Jones, alumni distinguished graduate professor

Researchers picking through the contents of fossil clams from a Sarasota County quarry found dozens of tiny glass beads, likely the calling cards of an ancient meteorite. Analysis of the beads suggests they are microtektites, particles that form when the explosive impact of an extraterrestrial ob

Sharing caves with millions of bats, the Caribbean’s first humans may have driven some species of the winged mammals to extinction. “Scientists have been studying bat fossils in the Caribbean for years,” said David Steadman, curator of ornithology at the Florida Museum of Natural History. “The pr
