In a first-of-its-kind study, Stanford researchers have measured how the abundance of ocean life has changed over the past ...

What is the largest organism? Until a few years ago, Oregon's "humongous fungus" was considered the world's largest organism.

Population ecology is the study of how populations — of plants, animals, and other organisms — change over time and space and interact with their environment. Populations are groups of ...

Evolution is complex and difficult to study, but a new software package developed by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station offers researchers a better way to simulate how organisms change ...

Ocean waters are getting greener at the poles and bluer toward the equator, according to an analysis of satellite data ...

"The third state suggests that organismal death may play a significant role in how life transforms over time." Both types of biobots last no more than 60 days, and safely biodegrade once they're dead.

Evolution is complex and difficult to study, but a new software package developed by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station offers researchers a better way to simulate how organisms change ...

Evolution describes changes in inherited traits of populations through successive generations. To fully understand the science of ecology, one must first be able to grasp evolutionary concepts.

Older adults whose cholesterol levels change over time might be tied to a greater risk of dementia, according to a new study.. Researchers from Monash University in Australia published a study in ...

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes ...

But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional boundaries of life and death.
