A group of scientists has discovered a species of algae that is capable of being selectively bred and could help create a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. Algae has already been used to ...
“This work confirms what many have expected based on the existing, though sparse fossil record, which is that green algae likely existed about a billion years ago.” P. antiquus was a marine, ...
The oldest multicellular algae fossil dates to 1,200 mya. At this time, biological diversity increases greatly, with algae, fungi, animals, and plants diverging from their common eukaryote ancestors.
"We got to find clues and piece those clues together." The fossils dating to the Miocene were encased in a type of fossilized ...
(See S. Bengtson et al., “Three-dimensional preservation of cellular and subcellular structures suggests 1.6 billion-year-old crown-group red algae,” PLOS Biology ...
Scientists are exploring how jellyfish and algae could power the future. Discover how bio-solar and ocean wave energy might ...
Fossil plankton from half a billion years ago. These tiny algae measure much less than a millimetre in size. They evolved their colonial structure to avoid being eaten by early animals.
