A new study shows that RNA splicing, not just gene expression, holds powerful clues to why some mammals live far longer than ...

A new study shows that thanks to cheaper DNA testing, we've reclassified more mammal species and have more biodiversity.

“This suggests that longer-lived species may have evolved molecular programs that optimize splicing for longevity, allowing ...

A collaborative study by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, and University of Southern California reports ...

Mammals only have one life to live, but the length of that life varies greatly. While some shrews shuffle off this mortal coil in less than 14 months, bowhead whales can swim in Arctic waters for more ...

The Max Planck team measured the lifespans of 1,176 wild creatures. Female mammals, the analysis showed, live 13% longer on ...

Cancer is a common disease among mammals, but some species, such as the naked mole rat and elephants, have evolved resistance ...

The mammal tree of life is a real leaner. Some branches are weighed down with thousands of species — we’re looking at you, rodents and bats — while others hold just a few species. Now we may have a ...

The public release is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at Head Beach in Phippsburg, and it marks a milestone for the ...

A new book dives into the evolutionary history of mammals. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Shortly after dinosaurs got their ...
