People often underestimate tiny beings. But microscopic algal cells not only evolved to thrive in one of the most extreme habitats on Earth – glaciers – but are also shaping them. With a team of ...
An international research team has described a newly discovered algae species Streptofilum arcticum and its cell functions for the first time in a recent publication in the journal Environmental ...
Volvocine algae provide an excellent model for understanding the gradual evolution from unicellularity to complex multicellularity. Spanning a range of organization from simple unicellular forms to ...
The first plants came from algae around 470 million years ago, slowly spreading on land and helping create oxygen and soil ...
Giant clams, some of the largest mollusks on Earth, have long fascinated scientists. These impressive creatures can grow up to 4.5 feet in length and weigh over 700 pounds, making them icons of ...
Researchers generated large scale gene expression data to investigate the molecular networks that operate in one of the closest algal relatives of land plants, a humble single-celled alga called ...
An evolutionary mystery that had eluded molecular biologists for decades may never have been solved if it weren't for the COVID-19 pandemic. "Being stuck at home was a blessing in disguise, as there ...
