Imagine a crocodile built like a greyhound — that’s a sebecid. Standing tall, with some species reaching 20 feet in length, they dominated South American landscapes after the extinction of dinosaurs until about 11 million years ago. Or at least, that’s what paleontologists thought, until they began
sebecid populations at least 5 million years after they went extinct everywhere else

DNA can unite species that were thought to be different. Scientists believed these Sea Stars to be two different species when first discovered. Further studies of their DNA revealed that they were actually different life stages of the same animal. Summary Cryptic Sea Stars Adult Sea Star (Cho
So some people decided that maybe there’s something else going on here and these

Scientists sometimes use enzymes and dyes to study animal anatomy and compare relationships among species. Today they also use techniques such as DNA studies and micro-CT scanning, which do not alter or damage unique specimens. Summary Cleared and Stained Salamander (Aneides lugubris) From Mari

Quality control for specimen data, image acquisition and data handling is essential for the success of this project. Barcoding Images are named based on the barcode on the specimen and specimens data are linked via the barcode number, which is the same as our catalog number. If a specimen is incor
The best way to double check is to have someone else reverse the stack of specimens

Pam and Doug Soltis, distinguished professors with the Florida Museum of Natural History, discuss how sequencing the genome of one critical flowering plant can be used as a tool to develop new pharmaceuticals and improve crop plants. The Soltises are currently analyzing the genome of Amborella, uni
