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.

Fusulines thrived in cold seas but vanished twice when warming from volcanoes rapidly spiked ocean carbon levels.

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

Modern-day environments in Antarctica contain ponds filled with life forms that closely resemble early multicellular ...

We see evidence for eukaryotes before and after the Cryogenian in the fossil record, but we largely lack direct ... and rRNA genes closely associated with specific types of algae, protists, and ...

I am hiking along the Metacomet Ridge in Greenfield, Massachusetts – a rather steep basaltic structure, modestly less than five hundred feet high and topped by a stately brick tower constructed in ...

Biomass reveals the real impact and energy flow of life in an ecosystem, like knowing not just the cast of a play, but who ...

Fragile fossil, uncommon evidence Pterosaur bones, due to their lightweight and hollow structure, rarely preserve well. This makes any fossilised sign of damage or interaction with other animals a ...

Dr. Poropat, along with scientists and volunteers from the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum in Corfield, encountered the fossil, which is at the heart of their new paper, on a dig in the Winton ...

A giant, strong-jawed salamander once tunneled through ancient Tennessee soil. And thanks to a fossil unearthed near East Tennessee State University, scientists now better understand how it helped ...
