Some of the foundational studies in the field were neither ethical by today’s standards nor replicable. But we can do better. Unfortunately for both the field and the dogs themselves, the truth is ...
Understanding how genes influence complex behaviors remains one of biology's most fascinating challenges. Now, however, in a recent study, researchers have compiled a comprehensive dataset documenting ...
Years of research in the field of genetics have offered interesting insights spanning the origins and development of heredity and traits, offering valuable information on its influence on every aspect ...
Biomechanical interactions, rather than neurons, control the movements of one of the simplest animals. The discovery offers a glimpse into how animal behavior worked before neurons evolved. The ...
