Found glowing fish-like creatures in the dark
The researchers found these bi-amphibious organisms, also called lanceletes, which contained green fluorescent proteins that could act as concealed shields.

Causes of insomnia due to time zone changes
Circadian watches (clock to beat sleep rhythm) regulates the time of biological functions in most high-end organisms. Anyone who flies through many different time zones…

Evolution is the process of merging opposite trends
It seems that evolution into multicellular organisms is due to the interaction between different selective trends when changing the level of organism?
Biology
Genetic exchange between species is more common than previously thought
Bacteria are often thought to be organisms capable of sharing genetic structures, for example, by spreading genes that are resistant to drugs. But what is the level of g…

Discover new forms of life in the Southern Ocean
An international team of scientists includes the Lovejoy Université Laval biologist Connie, who has discovered a new form of life in the Southern Ocean. The team's findi…

Decode the gene of shoe sole
Thanks to the genetic decoding of shoe sole, a single-celled organism used as a model for biological research, French researchers have confirmed the importance of genome…

Deinococcus radiodurans, the only organism to withstand high radiation
Deinococcus radiodurans is considered to be the only creature with a strange ability: to restore the cracked genome to thousands of pieces. A group of French and Croatia…

Isolate bacteria that oxidize self-sustaining ammonia in the sea
For many years, microbiologists believe that ancient bacteria are 'extremophile' (organisms that live in extremely harsh environments). The limited physiological diversi…

Promoting precious genetic resources
Currently in our country, the field of creating genetically modified organisms, transgenic research into plants (GM) is being approached, invested and implemented with s…

Methanobacterium - Gas source in the bottom of the water
Methane is the oldest organism on Earth. In the early days of the Earth's formation, in the pristine environment and lack of oxygen as in the dead, the first creatures w…

Plankton can change the weather and create clouds
It is said that size does not matter, and this is also true for tiny plankton. These are the living creatures that float freely in the ocean and they are

Can bacteria live at 121 degrees Celsius?
According to two microbiologists Derek Lovley and Kazem Kashefi, of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (USA), the limit of temperature at which life can survive…

What determines species diversity?
Countless animals, animals and microorganisms are occupying every corner from the mainland to the deep sea on our planet. They create this world, turn light into fuel, t…

It will take millions of years of evolution to offset the number of extinct creatures in the next 50 years
A study shows that the rate of extinction of animals is happening faster than the rate of evolution of nature.
