Watch: Scientists Create the World’s First Lab-Grown Kangaroo Embryo

Biology, Evolution /

For the first time, scientists have successfully created kangaroo embryos using in-vitro fertilization (IVF), marking a significant breakthrough in efforts to replicate this process across hundreds of marsupial species increasingly at risk of extinction. A research team from the University of Queensland achieved this feat using eggs and sperm from eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus), […]

Mirrors on the Forest Floor Increase the Growth of Shaded Seedlings by 175%

Biology, Evolution, Science /

Indoor plant enthusiasts are familiar with using mirrors to direct sunlight onto plants. Now, scientists have adapted this idea to help endangered tree seedlings struggling to grow in shaded forests. The Serianthes nelsonii, a large tree native to Guam and Rota, is one of the rarest plants in the world, with only one mature tree

New Fossil Fish Species Bolsters Evidence of Earth’s Evolutionary Progress

Biology, Evolution, Science /

“Groundbreaking” new fossil research reveals that climate change, asteroids, and plate tectonics are interconnected with the origins and extinction of animals, highlighting the significant evolutionary role of these factors. A recent study published in Nature Communications links the discovery of a remarkably well-preserved ancient Devonian coelacanth in remote Western Australia to a period of intense

Rare Evolutionary Event: Two Lifeforms Merge

Biology, Evolution, Science /

Scientists have witnessed a once-in-a-billion-year evolutionary event where two lifeforms merge, creating an organism with enhanced abilities. The last occurrence led to the emergence of plants on Earth. Known as primary endosymbiosis, this phenomenon occurs when one microbial organism engulfs another, utilizing it as an internal organ. In return, the host cell provides nutrients, energy,
