Spider Trapdoor Spiders Fossil Species Australia
- While trapdoor spiders can come in all kinds of different sizes, like the massive and nightmarish Euoplos dignitas , or the much smaller brush-footed trapdoor spider, like those found in Australia.

Clock Dna Ocean Research Kiel Geomar Helmholtz Centre Clocks Study
- Recent discoveries in the field of epigenetics, the study of inheritance of traits that occur without changing the DNA sequence, have shown that chronological age in mammals correlates with epigenetic changes that accumulate during the lifetime of an individual. In humans, this observation has led to the development of epigenetic clocks, which are now extensively used as biomarkers of aging. While these clocks work accurately from birth until death, they are set back to zero in each new generation . Now, an international team co-led by the University of Georgia, the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre ... [Read More]

Mars Life Water Cracks Earth Mud
- Multi-billion-year-old mud cracks on the surface of Mars are helping researchers piece together the ancient history of our planetary neighbor's climate. Observed by NASA's Curiosity rover in 2021, the hexagonal cracks are the subject of new research published in the journal Nature that lays out how they came to be and how they connect to Mars' — and possibly Earth's — early history. These cracks emerged on a stretch of the Martian surface that researchers believe experienced a regular — potentially even seasonal — cycle of saturation and dryness. That's important ...
