A team of researchers with Tel Aviv University has found that at least one kind of bat (the Bodenheimer's pipistrelle) is able to zoom in on information it receives from its biosonar, by adjusting the degree to which it stretches ...
(Phys.org) —Two researchers from Arizona State University have found that male chameleons use their color changing abilities for far more than hiding from predators. In their paper published in the journal Royal Society ...
A quartet of researchers at the University of Oxford's Department of Zoology has found that a careful look at the way large birds perch could perhaps lead to improvements in the ways that drones are programmed to land. In ...
Scientists at Florida Institute of Technology used a high-speed camera to capture an amazing lighting flash from a May 20 storm near the university's Melbourne campus.
