The Amazon molly reproduces without sex. A genomic copy-and-paste trick called gene conversion may explain how it avoids evolutionary meltdown.
Amazon mollies don't need a man, and never will. A new study finds they can purge and repair genetic mutations that would ...
For more than 40 years, researchers suspected this species might operate in such an extreme way, but they couldn’t prove it. Now, a new study confirms it. This is the first known ant species made up ...
In Chile’s Atacama, often described as the world’s driest desert, scientists have uncovered hidden life thriving beneath the surface. New research shows that even in this driest desert, soil ...
A recent paper in the Archives of Sexual Behavior suggests asexual women tend to prioritize emotional closeness over sexual ...
A rare Japanese ant is the only species known to lack female workers and males; all of its young develop into parasitic queens that try to take over other colonies.
Even in the ultra-dry Atacama Desert, tiny soil-dwelling nematodes are thriving in surprising diversity. Scientists found ...
Plants show remarkable developmental plasticity owing to their high regeneration capacity. A totipotent plant cell is one that can grow autonomously into embryos and whole plants in vitro. Somatic ...
Jellyfish are found globally across the oceans, and even a few species are commonly found in freshwater. Some species prefer shallow water, while others have been discovered deep in the sea, spending ...
