This fall, a popular undergraduate course on invertebrate biology taught by Casey Dunn, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology has been reinvented as a hands-on, field research experience on one of the region’s Thimble Islands.

In a new study, Yale researchers in the lab of Thomas Near, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, used genomic analysis to show when cavefishes lost their eyes, which provides a method for dating cave systems.

Prum, who is the William Robertson Coe Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, appeared on the Science Friday podcast to discuss a recently discovered dinosaur crest and the clues it may provide about dinosaur evolution.

FAS chemists, evolutionary biologists, and geochemists make waves with their latest research and collaborations.

A Yale-led study has found that night lizards, small reptiles that inhabit North and Central America, survived the extinction event that wiped out most life on Earth — despite living near ground zero.

A new study co-authored by Yale's Samuel Church, Casey Dunn, Jenn Coughlan, and other scientists sheds light on the biodiversity of the highly poisonous Portuguese Man O’ War—and may help protect beachgoers and surfers.

Using cutting-edge statistical modeling, Yale researchers examined mating success rates among one prairie bird — and found that females are more attracted to dance moves than aggressive fighting.

While birds are better able than most species to relocate in response to climate change, the environment is changing faster than they can fly, a new Yale study finds.

A Yale-led study sheds light on how coral reefs became biodiversity hotspots.

The discovery of two new fish species in Alabama points to scientific methods that can help protect the Earth’s biodiversity.
