A bold project to read the complete genetic sequences of every known vertebrate species reaches its first milestone by publishing new methods and the first 25 high-quality genomes. It's one of the ...
The hybrid freshwater fish actually reproduces exclusively female clones, doing so for much longer than scientists thought ...
Producing reference genomes for all known eukaryotic species (~1.8 million) over the next decade is a daunting task. But the Earth BioGenome Project is hoping to do exactly that. Two separate projects ...
An international team of ecologists, life scientists, conservationists and biologists has found that humans prey on approximately one-third of all vertebrate species in existence. In their study, ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Run an insect trap through a German nature reserve today and it will catch a fraction of the insects it would have trapped in 1989 ...

There may be twice as many vertebrate species on Earth as thought, thanks to hidden cryptic species
Their analysis focused purely on vertebrate species: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The team found that for every one species currently recognized for its morphology, there are two ...

The octopuses kept tracking prey they could only see in reflection, a vertebrate skill until now
California two-spot octopuses learned to track prey they could see only as a mirror reflection, then moved toward the actual ...
TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) - A new study by University of Arizona researchers reveals that Earth may host twice as many vertebrate species as previously recognized, thanks to the discovery of "cryptic" ...
It’s one of the most audacious projects in biology today—reading the entire genome of every bird, mammal, lizard, fish, and all other creatures with backbones. And now comes the first major payoff ...
