Researchers have traced cell origins critical to vertebrate evolution by studying a group of primitive, bloodsucking fish called lampreys. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
The same regulatory landscape which influences the development of fingers is present in fish, despite their distinct lack of digits. When researchers used CRISPR (a common gene editing tool) to fiddle ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have shown that zebrafish can provide genetic baz1b clues to the evolution of social behaviors in humans and domesticated species. The research, ...
Deep-sea fish, a group of inhabitants of the most light-deprived and harsh environments on our planet, have been discovered ...
A team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have zeroed in on an amphibious fish species to better understand the evolutionary pressures that molded blinking in land-dwelling ...

A study published in the Nature journal alters how the evolution of fish has been historically understood. Fossilized fish and other sea creatures have often been pivotal in new scientific discoveries ...
It's not what you do, it's how readily you do it. Rapid evolutionary change might have more to do with how easily a key innovation can be gained or lost rather than with the innovation itself, ...
Along the murky bottom of the Amazon River, serpentine fish called electric eels scour the gloom for unwary frogs or other small prey. When one swims by, the fish unleash two 600-volt pulses of ...
Experts have uncovered the earliest known example of a fish with extra teeth deep inside its mouth—a 310-million-year-old fossilized ray-finned fish that evolved a unique way of devouring prey.
