Copepod crustaceans are extremely abundant but, because of their small size and fragility, they fossilize poorly. Their fossil record consists of one Cretaceous (c. 115 Ma) parasite and a few Miocene ...

Fossilized dinosaur feces are challenging some basic assumptions about dinosaur eating habits. Hadrosaurs, a kind of duck-billed dinosaur, are among the most common herbivores of the Cretaceous period ...

In search of answers on how underwater plants are pollinated, scientists have recently discovered the bees of the sea. For centuries, scientists believed that pollination of seagrasses like dioecious ...

It has long been known that insects such as bees help plants reproduce, by spreading pollen from one plant to another. Now, however, a similar arrangement has been discovered in the undersea world – ...

Think dinosaurs didn’t mix things up at mealtime? Think again. Researchers studying fossilized dinosaur feces from about 75 million years ago have discovered that at least some plant-eating dinosaurs ...

Scientists on an expedition to sample a deep-sea trench got a surprise when their traps brought back seven giant crustaceans glimpsed only a handful of times in human history. The "supergiant" ...

Many ancient crustaceans went extinct following a massive collapse of reefs across the planet, and new research suggests modern species living in rapidly declining reef habitats may now be at risk.

The scientists said the food and fishing industry should start to think about the welfare of crustaceans Scientists have found further evidence that crustaceans feel pain. A study has revealed that ...

Some big plant-eating dinosaurs roaming present-day Utah some 75 million years ago were slurping up crustaceans on the side, a behavior that may have been tied to reproductive activities, says a new ...

Scientists have found further evidence that crustaceans feel pain. A study has revealed that the shore crab, a close relative of the species we use for food, responds to electric shocks and then goes ...
