New analysis suggests that Fiji iguanas landed on the Pacific islands after voyaging 5,000 miles from the western coast of North America.

On first inspection, the Cuban blue-headed quail dove doesn’t look like much: drab brown feathers, a slender beak, a pronounced strut in their walk typical of most other doves. You’d be forgiven for ...

Researchers find that tumor stem cells became less able to proliferate and invade tissues when gene editing blocked the production of the prion protein; the results suggest that the molecule could be ...

Researchers discovered that Zika virus constructs nanotubes to transport infection across the placental barrier undetected. The viral protein NS1 triggers this process, allowing Zika to spread while ...
