Platypus crab
Fossil crab reveals a new branch in the tree of life
Abril 25, 2019
By taking on characteristics from another, younger stage in its life-cycle, this fossil crab was probably able to adapt to new conditions.
Hot Protection
Pathogens may have facilitated the evolution of warm-blooded animals
Junio 11, 2019
Fever may be less effective at repelling infections in cold-blooded creatures
Approach angle
Bats use leaves as mirrors to find their prey in the dark
Agosto 09, 2019
Bats can find motionless insects on leaves in the dark. This was thought to be impossible, because the acoustic camouflage provided by the leaves should confuse their echolocation system. Inga Geipel and colleagues discovered how they overcome this problem.
Cover up
Living coral cover will slow future reef dissolution

In situ experiment on Great Barrier Reef tests future ocean acidification scenario
Eavesdropping
Underwater Manatee chatter may aid in their conservation
Octubre 04, 2019
Scientists propose a new method, based on underwater recordings, for estimating the population size of the Antillean manatee, an endangered marine mammal
Night hunters
Bats use private and social information as they hunt
Octubre 04, 2019
As some of the most savvy and sophisticated predators out there, bats eavesdrop on their prey and even on other bats to collect a wide variety of information about their prey.

Imprinting on mothers may drive speciation in poison dart frogs
Octubre 09, 2019
Imprinting on parental color may be more important than genetics when it comes to the evolution of new species.
Baby shark
Fishing exclusion zones to help manage shark populations in Pacific Panama
Diciembre 17, 2019
Researchers identify 11 potential nursery areas of locally common and migratory sharks, which could help support shark conservation efforts in Panama and the region.
