Recent research[cm_tooltip_parse][/cm_tooltip_parse] reveals that clown anemonefish demonstrate cognitive abilities previously unrecognized, such as distinguishing species by counting the white bars on other anemonefish. Through experiments,…
A recent study challenges previous notions about Megalodon, revealing it had a more slender body compared to the great white shark. This insight sheds new…
A potential newborn great white shark has been spotted, marking a rare and significant discovery in shark science. This observation could provide key insights into…
A study by the University of Massachusetts Amherst reports that 15.3% of tarpons in Bahia Honda, Florida, are preyed upon by great hammerhead sharks, highlighting…
Recent research indicates the Megalodon had a slimmer body, which could mean it fed less frequently and faced competition from the emerging great white shark,…
Scientists have discovered that bottlenose dolphins can sense weak electric fields using vibrissal pits on their snouts, a trait previously believed to be a vestigial…
A new study reveals that sea squirt oocytes use internal friction to undergo developmental changes post-conception, drawing an interesting parallel to a potter shaping clay.…
New research reveals the significant impact of parasites on ecosystem dynamics, advocating for a paradigm shift in ecological studies to include the ‘parasitome’ – the…
The scientific study used satellite transmitters, population counts, and DNA analyses of tissue samples to describe the special Kangia ringed seal in Ilulissat Icefjord. Here,…
A study by the University of Washington, analyzing an 800-year-old ice core, suggests that phytoplankton populations in the North Atlantic have remained stable since the…
Believed to be predators in perpetual motion, grey reef sharks had previously only been observed in motion, leading most to believe they needed to swim…
