After being stored in the Florida Museum of Natural History collections for 20 years, researchers have described a new genus and species of extinct saber-toothed cat from Polk County, Fla., based on additional fossil acquisitions. When the animal was originally named in the 1980s, the study’s aut

In a new study, scientists describe three new, but long-extinct, walnut species on an island above the Arctic Circle. The fossils were discovered further north than any known walnut species, living or extinct, and represent some of the oldest-known records of this group. Today, the Canadian islan
closest living trees are 3,000 kilometers away,” said study co-author James Basinger, professor

While a clear night sky might seem quiet and peaceful to us, empty of everything but stars, this nocturnal world is filled with a high-pitched cacophony of sound just beyond our ability to hear. Bats pierce the shadows with ultrasonic pulses that enable them to construct an auditory map of their sur

Mud in your shoes and a squirming turtle in hand may not sound like a typical college class, but for students taking Island Biology, this was to be expected. Over the 10-day course, University of Florida and Santa Fe College undergraduates got a taste of both the rigor and thrill of conducting fi

It was a chilly February day. A handful of Florida teachers gathered on the edge of a dirt pit in rural Levy County. Wind whipped across the open landscape, toying with scarves and making the little flags scattered around the pit dance on their long stems. Florida’s weak winter sunlight was sharp in

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

About 150 years ago, Henry Walter Bates described mimicry based on his observations of adult butterflies in the Amazon, contributing key evidence supporting Darwin’s then novel theory of natural selection. Recently, while conducting fieldwork in the lowlands of eastern Ecuador, Florida Museum of

For hundreds of years, butterfly collecting has often inspired a special kind of fanaticism, spurring lengthy expeditions, sparking rivalries and prompting some collectors to risk their fortunes and skins in their quest for the next elusive specimen. The result is a treasure trove of scientific i

The results of a yearlong science program show that one of the best ways to instill a lasting interest in science among children is to engage them alongside their family members. This finding runs counter to the current framework, in which children attend science-related summer camps and after-schoo

An international team of scientists has identified at least 11 species of fish suspected to have land-walking abilities. The findings are based on CT scans and a new evolutionary map of the hillstream loach family, which includes the only living fish species caught in the act of walking: a rare,
