Scientists have found that a single tree can be home to a trillion microbial cells — an invisible ecosystem that is only ...

In parts of Morocco, an unusual sight can be found—goats perched high in the branches of trees. But why do they climb? These ...

The research team combined data from thousands of studies, mapping where seed-dispersers live, how many seeds they spread, ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, Canadian researchers have identified a new type of microscopic organism, hemimastigotes, which is so unique that it forms an entirely new branch on the tree of life ...
