Diet played a key role in the evolution of the vast beetle family tree

The perception of taste is one of the most important senses and helps us identify beneficial foods and avoid harmful substances. For instance, our fondness for sweet and savory foods results from our need to consume carbohydrates and proteins. Given their importance as an evolutionary trait, researchers around the world are investigating how taste receptors originated and evolved over a period of time. Obtaining…

The study of a new species of coelacanth from the Middle Triassic period, with a strange morphology for these fish known as "living fossil," show the formation of several species in a short time, after a mass extinction that occurred 252 million years ago, with more than 80% of marine species disappearing.

For one group of scientists, this new discovery is a big catch. For others, something fishy is going on.

When you think about human evolution, there's a good chance you're imagining chimpanzees exploring ancient forests or early humans daubing woolly mammoths on to cave walls. But we humans, along with bears, lizards, hummingbirds and Tyrannosaurus rex, are actually lobe-finned fish. It might sound biz...

A pair of paleontologists, one with Rhodes University's Albany Museum and Geology Department, the other with Uppsala University, has identified a new species of tristichopterid, which is an ancient bony fish. Robert Gess and Per Ahlberg have analyzed the fossil specimen found in South Africa and published their research in PLOS ONE.
