A tiny desert fish survives in a sun-scorched cavern on the edge of extinction. Here’s how it’s offering scientists a rare ...

A new study explains how small genetic changes enabled electric fish to evolve electric organs. The finding might also help scientists pinpoint the genetic mutations behind some human diseases.

Scientists show the extraordinary diversity of cichlid fish in Africa’s Lake Victoria was made possible by ‘genetic recycling’ - repeated cycles of new species appearing and rapidly adapting to ...
