ASU researchers found that genetics alone cannot explain the origins of eusociality. Inside an ant colony, queens reproduce while workers care for young and maintain a society built around shared labor. For more than six decades, evolutionary biologists have debated whether this extraordinary arrangement, known as eusociality, arose partly because ants, bees, and wasps share […]
New Research Questions a Textbook Theory of How Insect Societies Evolve

Only Three Are Known To Exist: China’s Mysterious Eyeless Cave Snail
Scientists have discovered China’s first known freshwater cave snail, an eyeless species so rare that only three living adults have been found. Deep inside a mountain cave in southwestern China, scientists found an animal that appears built for a world where sunlight never reaches. The tiny freshwater snail has no eyes, almost no color, and […]
Scientists Discover a Hidden Cell Signal That May Explain Congenital Heart Defects
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen found that a signaling mechanism in the cells’ ‘antennae’ may help explain why some fetuses develop disease in both the heart and other organs. About two of every 100 babies worldwide are born with congenital heart disease, but the biological processes responsible for these conditions are not fully understood. […]
