Global warming is already very tough for animals in the wild, but it may be toughest for creatures like fish, whose body temperatures are controlled by the water temperatures around them.

The scientists used zebrafish in the research -- which are often used in biological studies. Zebrafish share up to 70% of genes with humans, which are easy to modify in the laboratory, and are ...

Researchers suspect the Myrmecophilus acervorum in Latvia are reproducing through a process called thelytoky parthenogenesis, “where females asexually produce only female offspring,” the study ...

In rare cases, female snakes can reproduce on their own through a process called parthenogenesis. This means they can produce offspring without mating, and the young are exact genetic copies of ...
