On this week's episode: is our universe inside a black hole, Antarctic explorers, tracking teenaged turtles, and ...

fill an approximately 25-million-year gap in knowledge by reconciling the molecular clock—or pace of evolution—with the fossil spore record—the physical evidence of early plant life gathered by ...

More mammals were living on the ground several million years before the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs, ...

A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within chloroplasts, shedding light on a key event in the evolution of plant life.

One of the most important milestones in the evolution of life began some 400 million years ... the world was changing dramatically: complex plant ecosystems formed on land, the first woody plants ...

During a billion years of evolution, they’ve become masters of survival. And yet, fungi have also been integral to the development of life on Earth. In fact, neither land plants nor terrestrial ...

This study sheds light on evolution in two ways: we can see how biochemical pathways common to two entirely separate kingdoms of life, plants and animals, have been largely conserved through our ...
