A team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have zeroed in on an amphibious fish species to better understand the evolutionary pressures that molded blinking in land-dwelling ...

It’s beginning to look like our success on land, and that of all tetrapods, from frogs to dogs to dinosaurs, was just a lucky side-effect of fish trying to stay fish. Eons is available to stream on ...

The 372-million-year-old fossils of tetrapod -- creatures that evolved from fish living in water to creatures that walked on land -- have been discovered by researchers in Russia. And given how well ...

Newly discovered tetrapod footprints suggest that the evolution of limbed vertebrates may have occurred nearly 20 million years earlier than scientists previously believed, according to a study ...

Nearly all four-limbed vertebrates (tetrapods) have evolved some way of blinking. But how did that capability develop? To answer that question, Brett Aiello at Seton Hill University in Greensburg, ...

"I'm stunned." says Per Ahlberg of Uppsala University, who coordinated the study; "A single track-bearing slab, which one person can lift, calls into question everything we thought we knew about when ...

Lost species are those that have not been observed in the wild for over 10 years, despite searches to find them. Lost tetrapod species (four-limbed vertebrate animals including amphibians, birds, ...

Thomas Evans received funding from The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Lost species are those that have not been observed in the wild for over ten years, despite searches to find them. Lost ...
