The event marked the beginning of the Triassic Age, and experts have been puzzling over what might have caused more than 96 percent of all marine species and 70 percent...

Paleoanthropologist John Hawks picks up an unconsciously but hugely man-hating comment on Slashdot. Slashdot picks up the Svante Pääbo “ Humans had sex with Neandertals “ story. Hilarity ensues . You do not need any DNA analysis to figure that out. What do you think the troll did to the captured the [sic] princess, once he took her back to his mountain cave? And they did not...

Thoughts Related to Viburnums

Raise your hand if you thought that the Viburnum genus was still in the Honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae.Yes, I thought so, too, and many online resources and books still include it in that family.

Bipalium adventitium — Part 3

Bipalium adventitium is a predatory terrestrial planarian. Klots (1960) reported that B. adventitium preyed on "small annelids" as well as on slugs and insect larvae.
