The ‘Great Dying’ wiped out 90% of life, then came 5 million years of lethal heat. New fossils explain why UPenn ban on ...

Algae grown under Mars-like conditions could make bioplastic building materials for structures to harbor life in space.

The study, led by biologists at Harvard University, found that the slugs build sac-like structures known as kleptosomes out of their own cells in which the chloroplasts are stashed. The kleptosomes ...

A team of researchers is tapping into the ocean’s vast body of free-floating environmental DNA to catch blooms before they ...

Shell-rich rocks trace a mostly upward climb in ocean life, with each mass extinction slashing both diversity and biomass ...
