Flightless beetles evolved distinct snail-hunting shapes on Japan's largest island

Islands are widely recognized as natural laboratories of evolution. The ocean restricts movement among islands, allowing isolated populations to adapt to different environments and, at times, diverge into new species. However, ...

Gene-edited beagles produce no detectable major dog allergen, early tests find

Humans love dogs, but petting them can leave some people sneezing and wheezing. About 15% of the world's population lives with a dog allergy, which can increase the risk of hay fever and asthma. The main culprit is Can f ...
