Biologists are waging war against three species of highly invasive fish that are infesting some Kansas rivers and lakes.

The embryo of a small-spotted catshark, safe inside its egg case, is being raised at the aquarium Oceanogràfic València by Associació Lamna, a nonprofit that promotes shark conservation and research.

A colorful bird that’s been extinct in the wild for nearly 40 years has been introduced on a new island in the Pacific Ocean—and the population has even started laying eggs. With help from ...

As in just about every other field, computers have become an essential part of biological research. Complicated algorithms and analyses that once took months of work by specialists are now available ...

Trevor Starks stands in the Neosho River holding a rare mussel. He’s smiling because this find is his first evidence that the mussel, a Neosho mucket, is surviving here eight months after he and other ...

Earlier this year, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission assessed three adorable Florida panther kittens, ...

I'm happy to announce the release of Practical Computing for Biologists, a book I wrote with my friend Steve Haddock. Here is a flyer with more information. The book is available directly from the ...

A team of chemical biologists at the University of Washington, working with colleagues at Oxford Nanopore Technologies, has developed a protein sequencing process that involves pulling proteins ...

Biologists have created a protein unlike any found in nature, with the power to toggle a cell’s functions on and off. The scientists linked the artificial proteins together into circuits and ...

Highly complex honeybee communities are one example of phenomena that some scientists think can't be explained by the mainstream theory of evolution alone, but instead by a theory of self-organization ...

The molecular signaling systems of complex cells are nothing like simple electronic circuits. The logic governing their operation is riotously complex — but it has advantages. It was a brilliant ...
