DNA tangles can help predict evolution of mutations Researchers from the Milner Centre for Evolution have identified evolutionary hotspots in DNA where mutations are more likely.
Climate change and human pressure mean migration may be “no longer worth it”, say researchers Researchers have found that the benefits of migration have been eroded by the effects of climate change and human pressure.
New “lost relative” of Triceratops found in New Mexico The skeleton fragments of a new horned dinosaur, Sierraceratops turneri, have been discovered in North America.
Bacteria could help build eco-friendly construction materials Researchers at Bath are investigating whether the natural properties of bacteria could help in developing a new type of environmentally friendly plasterboard.
Modern snakes evolved from a few survivors of dino-killing asteroid Research from the Milner Centre for Evolution suggests modern snakes evolved from a handful of ancestors that survived the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.
