Sexual reproduction is thought to be essential for mixing up genes and holding your own in the race for survival. A major embarrassment to this theory are microscopic animals called rotifers, one ...
Bdelloid rotifers, microscopic animals found nearly all in freshwater ecosystems worldwide, lack the enzymes that most animals use to silence regions of their genome by attaching chemical tags called ...
A group of small, freshwater animals protect themselves from infections using antibiotic recipes “stolen” from bacteria, according to new research by a team from the University of Oxford, the ...
