In our newly published research in Science Advances, my student Ben Alessio and I propose a potential mechanism explaining how these distinctive patterns form—that could potentially be applied to ...

A yellow band across a wing might look like a simple flourish. In the South American rainforest, it can mean survival.

A team of researchers have expanded Alan Turing's seminal theory on how patterns are created in biological systems. This work may answer whether nature's patterns are governed by Turing's mathematical ...

A bright red splash on a butterfly’s wing is more than a pretty pattern. It is a warning label, honed by millions of years of ...

Skin color patterns in animals arise from microscopic interactions among colored cells that obey equations, say investigators. Researchers report that a lizard acquires its adult skin color by ...

Study discover that evolution reuses same genes to create identical wing patterns in butterflies and moths separated by 120 ...

AI is moving beyond biology to decode human history, searching for hidden patterns that explain how societies rise and ...

The eye contains complex layers of cells, one of which is called retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Scientists at the National Eye Institute (NEI, a part of the National Institutes of Health) have ...

The latest research on a Neanderthal infant from Amud Cave in Israel is giving a clearer picture of how different early development may have been in o.
