My work gathers inspiration from a variety of unconventional model organisms, and they have a key role in bio-inspired design ...

The "boring billion" shaped multicellularity, with energy demands sparking complexity. This era shows evolution's cost.

Researchers at the Complexity Science Hub and Santa Fe Institute have developed a model to calculate how quickly or slowly an ...

Between 1.8 billion and 800 million years ago, earthly life was in the doldrums. During this period, called the "boring ...

elegans research Nagi Bioscience, a pioneer Swiss company pioneer in cutting-edge laboratory technologies for alternative model organisms research, proudly announces the launch of its exclusive ...

At the same time, however, by using these insects with their relatively simple structure, they are able to dispense with many experiments on more highly organized organisms, such as vertebrates.

In a new study, Arizona State University researcher Michael Lynch explores the substantial energy demands required to maintain and evolve multicellular life. The study, using the water flea Daphnia as ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, Canadian researchers have identified a new type of microscopic organism, hemimastigotes, which ...

Researchers from the Complexity Science Hub and Santa Fe Institute developed a mathematical model to determine the ideal ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a mathematical model that models how the evolutionary strategies ...

Researchers have developed a model to calculate how quickly or slowly an organism should ideally learn in its surroundings. An organism's ideal learning rate depends on the pace of environmental ...
