This monograph summarises a variety of contributions on dinosaurs, including contributions on dinodiversity documentation.
A year before his death, Galton wrote that only those with the best genes should reproduce (to have the best children, of course) and that the mentally deficient and short-tempered should be sterilised.
In Memento, Christopher Nolan used the same solution as nature did when it came to duplicating DNA millions of years before: he told Leonard's story cutting it in ten-minutes sections.
The same will happen with fossil fuels as with the Decauville trains, which were scrapped when automobiles and roads appeared.
Since the late 1920s, a number of HIV vaccine strategies have been discarded, but research continues with phase I vaccine prototypes.
In his films, Miyazaki notes that the boundless confidence in progress and growth inherent in modern thinking and state dynamics leads directly to catastrophe.
There is a great diversity of organisms that have adapted to live among us. Not only arthropods, but also vertebrates such as geckos, bats, owls and, in some highly urbanised countries, even foxes, deer, and bears.
The covid-19 pandemic has altered the infection routines of other respiratory diseases and, in some cases, has made us more vulnerable. The ancestral method of immunisation in pre-vaccination times was, precisely, infection.
Could there be a universe where the laws of physics were different and there was no second law of thermodynamics? Christopher Nolan's film Tenet (2020) explores this new reality.
We share blood groups A, B and O with other hominids, but only blood groups A and O with chimpanzees and group B with gorillas.
Humans are born rather undeveloped, compared to other species, which favours a better understanding of language and behaviour in society.
Despite being intended mainly for artistic purposes or for personal use (portraits and travel diaries, etc.), photography soon became a valuable ally of science.
Suzanne Davit introduced numerous innovations in botanical illustration, which were interpreted as an alternative artistic discourse to the dominant patriarchal dialogue and a manifestation of the female touch.
Interview with Cristina Mittermeier, conservation biologist and photographer. She shares her projects, which combine both of her professional interests.
Astrophography is a powerful tool for both amateurs and professionals to study the universe.
Photography has established itself as a key tool in astronomical research and is fundamental to a better understanding of the universe.
Nowadays, the combination of photography and biodiversity is an important tool for scientific projects, especially in the field of conservation.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed them as «endangered». In particular, the West African subspecies – the one pictured here – is listed as «critically endangered».
Photography has positioned itself not only as an effective means of collecting data, but also as a tool for sharing scientific information, both inside and outside the academic world.
The search for certainty in a world that is often so binary – where choosing between two options seems to be the better (and simpler) alternative – gives meaning to
An interview with philosopher and Professor of Bioethics Peter Singer, who talks about long-standing challenges in animal welfare and procreation ethics.
It seems that the fear of death is not unique to our species. The responses of some animals in the face of death may be associated with emotions similar to those we experience when we bury our own.
The so-called basic emotions offer a quick and essentially automatic response to certain situations in life. All of them have their own evolutionary function, for example, fear keeps us away from certain dangers, and anger alerts us to a threat.
