Plant-eating sauropod dinosaurs were ecosystems engineers, profoundly changing their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation. Following the end-Cretaceous mass ...
A bizarre new genus and species of ornithomimid dinosaur has been identified from the fossilized remains found in 2014 in Coahuila, Mexico. The newly-identified dinosaur species roamed Earth during ...
Paleontologists from the United States and Australia have discovered and described a new, nearly complete skull of Vegavis iaai, a foot-propelled diver bird species that lived in Antarctica during the ...
In a new study published in the journal PLoS ONE, paleontologists analyzed the fossilized remains of the alvarezsaurid dinosaur Bonapartenykus from the Allen Formation of Patagonia. Their results shed ...
Aquatic, tailed amphibians called newts have large genomes harboring many repeat elements. How these elements shape the genome and relate to newts’ unique regeneration ability remains unknown. In new ...
A new clinical trial involving over 700 older adults over a three-year period provides evidence supporting the geroprotective benefits of omega-3 supplementation and also suggests the benefits of ...
The newly-discovered radio jet spans an astonishing 215,000 light-years, and is associated with J1601+3102, an extremely radio-loud quasar that existed just 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang. This ...
A team of scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, TUD Dresden University of Technology and the Australian National University, has discovered an ‘unexpected’ accumulation of ...
A new analysis of magmatic iron meteorites challenges traditional theories about why Earth and Mars are depleted in moderately volatile elements. Moderately volatile elements (MVEs) like copper and ...
Paleoanthropologists from the University of Vienna and Harvard University have analyzed ancient DNA from 435 individuals from Eurasian archaeological sites dating between 6400-2000 BCE. They’ve ...
An international team of scientists has sequenced the genome of the yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis), an economically important crop marketed for the elaboration of mate, the third-most widely ...
A type Ia supernova event called SN 2022abvt was discovered two years ago in the spiral galaxy LEDA 132905. LEDA 132905 resides over 400 million light-years away in the constellation of Sculptor. “The ...
