Multilevel selection is a controversial concept originally proposed by Darwin. A new study found evidence for it in the wild in a group of marmots scientists have been observing for more than 60 years.
Research that combined archaeology, history and ecology provides a nuanced understanding of the past that could help conservationists better plan for the future.
Textbooks usually depict the epithelial cells encasing the interior and exterior of your body as passive barriers. But researchers discovered they can produce electrical signals like neurons.
By combining ultrasound with a concept called nonlinear acoustics, you can create sound that stays silent until it reaches a specific location.
