New Scientist on MSNAncient animal's fossilised brain prompts rethink of spider evolutionA 500-million-year-old sea creature called Mollisonia shared a similar brain structure to modern spiders, suggesting that ...
On her first dedicated scientific voyage to Antarctica in March, the Australian icebreaker RSV Nuyina found the area sea-ice free. Scientists were able to reach places never sampled before.
New research explores the wide-ranging consequences of record low summer sea ice in Antarctica. From more ocean warming to extra icebergs, it’s bad news we must hear.
It's not easy to look at a sea spider and see an animal so representative of its kind that it may help scientists sort out the evolution of almost everything with eight legs. But that's the ...
Scientists once thought Antarctica might hold onto its sea ice as the world warmed. No longer.
Some of the water around Antarctica has been getting saltier. And that has affected the amount of sea ice at the bottom of the planet. A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National ...
Scientists have long sought to understand why sea spiders keep some of their most important organs in their legs.
Explore how sea spiders' genome sheds light on arachnid evolution and body structure. Discover what makes these deep-sea oddities so important today.
