Based on an old idea from the eminent vertebrate paleontologist Alfred Romer (1933), Balbus (2014) suggested that tidal modulation influenced the evolution from “fish” to tetrapods in the Devonian […]

The ocean covers 71% of the total area, and contains enough water to cover the whole planet to a depth of 2.7 km (1.7 miles) if the surface […]

Paul Nelson says, “There’s a kind of jewel-like quality that they have” that makes them so admirable. In Flight: The Genius of Birds, after seeing details about hummingbird science set to dazzling video, it’s no wonder Nelson […]

Here are two recent examples. Silent Code in Action in Actin “Actin is an essential and abundant intracellular protein that plays a major role in developmental morphogenesis, muscle […]

First, one can use what is called directed evolution. The term is a bit misleading — it’s similar to evolution, in that it involves generating […]
