A certain species of sea slug steals chloroplasts from algae and houses its contraband in special organelles that it can raid ...

Use a compound microscope at 40X magnification to see stomata distribution and 400X magnification to see details of the guard cells and whether the stomata is open or closed.

Marine creatures house contraband structures in special organelles, which the animal raids for food in times of need.

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 ...

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

Stanford study shows ocean biomass has risen over 540 million years, linking biodiversity to long-term ecosystem health.

During Earth's ancient Snowball periods, when the entire planet was wrapped in ice, life may have endured in tiny meltwater ponds on the surface of equatorial glaciers. MIT researchers discovered that ...
