Scientists discover why some birds live fast and die young An international study, co-authored by a researcher from the Milner Centre for Evolution, has revealed why some bird species take longer to develop than others.
Intensive farming increases risk of epidemics, warn scientists Overuse of antibiotics, high animal numbers and low genetic diversity from intensive farming increase the risk of animal pathogens transferring to humans.
Scientists investigate why females live longer than males Milner Centre scientists working as part of an international team found that, like humans, female wild animals tend to live significantly longer than males.
Crocs’ better parenting skills could make them more resilient to climate change Milner Centre for Evolution scientists have found clues as to why crocodiles are the great survivors of mass extinctions.
Spot the difference: Scientists find two identical-looking bird species have very different genes Scientists have identified a new bird species from the Southern coast of China, that diverged from its Northern relatives around half a million years ago.
Crocodile evolution through fossils Polly is in the third year of her PhD in Evolutionary Biology. She studies fossils to understand why crocodiles are how they are today.
