Rising global temperatures are changing the rules for survival—and reproduction—for many species. A new study from Saint Louis University reveals that predicting which species will persist under ...

Scientists have uncovered a set of neurons in fruit flies that shut down in cold temperatures and slow reproduction, a system conserved in many insects, including mosquitoes, which could provide a ...

Two supposedly asexual species of stick insects may engage in occasional bouts of sex, helping to widen their gene pool and avoid harmful mutations. A handful of animals reproduce asexually, primarily ...
