What’s the real story of the dodo? How did such a unique bird even evolve in the first place? And are we really responsible for its extinction?

Paul Andersen details the evolutionary processes of speciation and extinction. Stickleback evolution in Lake Loberg is used as example of rapid speciation. Adaptive radiation is illustrated using the Hawaiian honeycreeper. A brief...

Tropical rainforests are known for being super biologically diverse _ they're full of different species, from colorful birds and insects to plants and fungi. We haven't even come close to cataloguing everything that's there.

Recent proof-of-concept studies showed that researchers were able to survey animals in an area simply by vacuuming up DNA in the air.
