In October, Poethig and fellow researcher Aaron Leichty — a former graduate student in Poethig’s lab — published research on ...

Phylogenetics and molecular evolution lie at the heart of understanding the origins and diversification of life. By constructing phylogenetic trees, scientists map the evolutionary relationships ...

Nematode taxonomy has long relied on traditional morphological criteria; however, the advent of molecular techniques has revolutionised species identification and phylogenetic analysis. Integrative ...

Scientists were able to get molecular information from 1.7 million years old teeth using a new method that could completely ...

A completely new order of marine sponges has been found by researchers at the Museum of Evolution, Uppsala University. The sponge order, named Vilesida, produces substances that could be used in drug ...

From octopuses to snails, the complicated molluscan family tree has now been mapped in unprecedented detail, researchers report. This includes sequences for 13 new complete genomes from across the ...
