Much more difficult is learning to connect different types of stimuli or events, and predicting that one is linked to another. Such associative learning was most famously demonstrated when Ivan Pavlov ...

Bdelloid rotifers shrug off radiation doses that would obliterate human cells. Here’s how their resilience reveals deep insights into the limits of biological endurance.

The discovery of a billion-year-old fossil in Scotland offers exciting new insight into animal evolution, BC researcher says Loch Torridon in Scotland, where the microfossil was discovered. Photo: ...

Manfred, Azumi, Farooq, Gabriela, no wait that's Farooq – or is that Callum. No, that's Callum. Hmm, this is difficult. Well, it doesn't matter. They are fish. They're all fish. That's much more ...

Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells. Research in cell biology uses microscopic and molecular tools and ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

After having been relegated to the backrooms of dusty museums, surrounded by a cadre of venerable scientists and even older fossils, evolutionary systematics is now enjoying a renaissance that began ...

The membrane permeability coefficient for sodium and potassium ions in unicellular organisms can be calculated using the data for cell volume, surface and mean generation time during growth and ...

Abstract: This work presents a novel approach to image texture classification, which involves a model of artificial organisms i.e. artificial crawlers (ACrawlers) and a series of evolution curves ...

Approximately 450 million years ago, during the Ordovician Biodiversification Event-a period marked by an explosion of life in the oceans-the first brown algae (Phaeophyceae) emerged. These algae, ...
