Fruit, nectar, bugs and blood: How bat teeth and jaws evolved for a diverse dinnertime They don't know it, but Charles Darwin's finches changed the world. These closely related species — native to the Galapagos Islands — each sport a uniquely shaped beak that matches their preferred diet. Studying these birds helped Darwin develop the… Read more at nsf.gov

Novel bacterial proteins from seafloor shine light on climate and astrobiology Gigatons of greenhouse gas are trapped under the seafloor, and that's a good thing. Around the coasts of the continents, where slopes sink down into the sea, tiny cages of ice trap methane gas, preventing it from escaping and bubbling up into the… Read more at nsf.gov

Caribbean parrots thought to be endemic are relicts of millennial-scale extinction In a study supported in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation and published in the journal PNAS, researchers have extracted the first ancient DNA from Caribbean parrots, which they compared with genetic sequences from modern birds.
