阅读全文Who we choose as a partner depends in part on who we find attractive on the outside. Scientists have long wondered whether potential partners can also sense a woman's fertility, for example through subtle changes in her body odor.
阅读全文Mammals that have evolved more developed brains tend to have a smaller size difference between males and females of that species, according to new research led by the University of Bath and published in Nature Communications.
阅读全文RIKEN researchers have uncovered how gradual changes in gene-expression patterns drive a cell-fate switch in neural stem cells (NSCs) in mice.
阅读全文The human eye registers three colors of light: red, green and blue. But pigeons (and many other animal species) can also see a fourth color, ultraviolet.
阅读全文A pair of paleobiologists at the University of Fribourg and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, in Switzerland, working with a colleague from Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, in Spain, has found evidence suggesting that humans were responsible for pro
阅读全文The Cambrian fossil record indicates that most animal phyla had diversified and inhabited the Earth's oceans approximately 518 million years ago. But even though chordates—the group that includes vertebrates like humans—were part of this early animal div
阅读全文A team of paleontologists and natural science specialists from the U.K., the U.S. and France reports that ancient fossil evidence uncovered on Scotland's Isle of Skye suggests small mammals living millions of years ago may have had longer developmental p
