  1. #Chernobyl #Fungus Seems to Have #Evolved an Incredible Ability
    Clinging to walls of one of most #radioactive buildings on Earth, scientists have found a strange black fungus curiously living its best life.
    Fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing #radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. Proposed mechanism is referred to as #radiosynthesis.

  2. Some technologists have argued that, over the past decade, machines have #evolved to attain intelligence, some enthusiasts even claiming mechanical sentience. Yeah, whatever.

    But one thing is undeniable: since 2016, humans have #devolved, losing our humanity, empathy, comity, conscience, and intelligence.

    Thanks, #AI and #SocialMedia.

    Eyes, as light-sensing organs of the #lens #eye type, have #evolved independently multiple times in the animal kingdom. But what did a representative of the early #vertebrate lineage look like? According to G. Kafetzis et al. (2026), a worm-like #ancestor possessed #medianeyes bring #homologous to the modern #pinealgland of the #brain. Published in #CurrentBiology. #evolution

  8. All #vertebrates #evolved from a distant worm-like ancestor possessing a single median eye, which eventually gave rise to modern paired eyes and the brain's pineal gland.

  9. #Sponges are among earth’s most #ancient animals, but exactly when they #evolved have long puzzled scientists. #Genetic information from living sponges, as well as chemical signals from ancient rocks, suggests that sponges evolved at least 650 million years ago.

  11. The #rosechafer #Cetonia #aurata (#Scarabaeidae) is distributed from Europe to Asia. The #saprophagous #larvae develop over about two years in Central Europe in #soil substrates often under #deadwood. According to R. Beaven et al. (2025), #rectalcomplexes as in C. autata (larvae only) are recycling systems of the #gutcontents and #evolved #independently within Scarabaeideae.

  16. You can hold on to your butts thanks to #DNA that evolved in #fish
    Making digits seems to involve #gene activity that was needed to make a #cloaca.
    Fish that limbed #vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, most common types of fish just have a large collection of rays supporting their fins.
    It turns out hox gene activity in digits isn't the ancestral state; instead, it seems to have #evolved separately in the ray-finned fish and vertebrate lineages.
