Our understanding of major events in animal evolution have largely been based on comparative anatomy of both living and fossil taxa. The large morphological disparity between living taxa, and an often-imperfect fossil record, have made reconstructing early events in origins of animal phyla challenging. A growing body of work from developmental biology reveals that bilateral ...

Throughout the last century, the ability of electroencephalography to visualize fluctuating microvolt potential differences between two points on the scalp has guided our understanding of the cortical landscape as neurologists correlated both hyperactive (epileptic) and silent (ischemic) areas of brain damage with clinical deficits in their patients, mapping the functional topography of the neocortex, literally, ...

Inclusivity is not easy, especially in spaces, like environmental and ocean sciences, where people of color have traditionally been excluded. Yet, despite high interest in these fields from underrepresented groups, particularly Black and/or African American communities, many environmental and ocean science programs and organizations struggle with diversifying their students, staff, and/or researchers. Additionally, in attempts ...

Because plants are sessile and can’t escape from predators, many plant species have evolved exquisite defensive systems, ranging from chemical defenses to physical deterrents. Thorns, prickles, and spines all act as weapons against herbivores, but each arises from a distinct developmental origin. Unlike prickles or spines, thorns arise from axillary shoot apical meristems that proliferate ...
