Continent-size islands deep inside Earth's mantle could be more than a billion years old, a new study finds. Known as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs), these blobs are both hotter and ...
Scientists have developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy -- organisms carrying extra genome copies -- in evolution. Their findings reveal that polyploidy can stabilize ...
Researchers from the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology found that global warming is causing glass eels' numbers to increase in Hokkaido's rivers.
