Why Do Males And Females Look Different?
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
You see a spotted hyena – is it a male or female. There’s no way of telling without a blood test or a litter of pups. Other animals have obvious differences between males and females; eclectus parrots have green males but red and blue females, while male elephant seals weigh 10x as much as females. Are the differences for sexual selection or natural selection?... Read more »

The Bird Jaws Of Life
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
Do birds have teeth? No, but they did once, and sometimes a throwback mutation can create a chick with a full set of chompers. That’s weird, but bird mouths get weirder. Birds can open their upper jaw, not just their lower. And some birds take being weird even farther. The crossbill has a mouth where the upper and lower beaks scissor past one another while the wrybill has a beak that always turns right. ... Read more »

This Nose Knows
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
Evolution has given the sperm whale the most amazing head in the animal kingdom. They’ve got the biggest brain – all 18 lb.s of it. It has 1900 liters of sperm oil that almost caused in the extinction of the animal. It has one nostril that’s offset on its head, making the whale asymmetric. But most impressively, he can change the density of his head to help him dive or surface, and to do it he uses the same organ he uses for echolocation!... Read more »

The Search For The Unicorn - Slightly Off Center
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
One of the most amazing animals is one of the least often seen. It has one tooth that grows into a tusk that’s off center. The tusk is basically inside out, with the inside of the tooth exposed to the world. This animal also has the world’s only spiraled tooth, for strength and because that’s what keeps it growing straight. Finally, this animal spends an amazing amount of time on its back. Why do we care about these animal…..because they are so awesome!... Read more »

The Eyes Have It
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
The Cyclops had one eye in the middle of his forehead, but can you think of real animal with only one eye? Two eyes (or more) seem to be very important in evolution. This is so true that when flatfish lie down on the ocean floor they move one eye to the other side of their head! Research is showing that it’s more than just their eye that changes and the alterations are important for their survival. And by the way – there is one kind of animal that only has one eye, it’s the &he........; Read more »

Looking Sideways In The Mirror
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
Not every animal that’s bilaterally symmetric chooses to stay that way.

They rip off and eat the scales of other fish!... Read more »

Mirroring Evolution

The Tree of Earthworms

Earthworm taxonomists describing what they do to a layperson is hilarious to watch.

Insect species often differ in colour and patterning, so it’s easy to then correct a layman’s misconceptions about […]

An Immovable Moving Part- That’s Just Cilia!
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
Nothing is simple, and we wouldn’t want it that way. The cilia on cells; they’re for propelling a cell forward or back, or for moving fluid past the cell. Unless they don’t move at all. Could a broken cilium be important to us? You bet, they control every part of our lives. And some aren’t even cilia; sterocilia are made completely differently, but the diseases of cilia affect sterocilia as well – they can make you blind, deaf and unbalanced.... Read more »
