It’s certainly an exciting time to study communication in whales and dolphins.

MIT CSAIL and Project CETI researchers reveal complex communication patterns in sperm whales, deepening our understanding of animal language systems.

Like all people, the way scientists see the world is shaped by biases and expectations, which can affect how they record and report. Rigorous research methods can minimize this effect.

Researchers have developed tiny, flexible devices that can wrap around individual nerve fibres without damaging them.

The genetic mutations responsible for the unusual physical features in animals can also cause great harm.

Only male crickets have wing structures that produce sound, but females are very good at following the signal.

And why earthworms are careful to select a mate of the same size as themselves.

Studying the human brain is difficult because of its vast and intricate network of neural connections. The fruit fly offers a simpler but similar model that researchers can more easily map.
