In a new study, two species of bacteria grown in a lab reversed their predator-prey relationship after one species was grown at a lower temperature. In a new study, two species of bacteria grown in a ...

Researchers have discovered the oldest known example of a predator-prey “arms race,” based on their study of ancient fossils. This ancient predator-prey relationship took place 517 million years ago ...

I am responding to Greg Hanscom’s editorial referring to the lofty ideal that the mission for wildlife biologists is to work themselves out of a job (HCN, 3/31/03: Dear Friends). It seems to me that ...
