Professor Steven Vollmer and his co-authors discussed the fossil and genetic context that proves the long-term existence of a specific coral hybrid.

Northeastern professor H. William Detrich, a leader of an international collaboration that has recently sequenced the genome of the blackfin icefish.

Northeastern undergraduate researcher Amy Sharpe won the 2nd place poster award at the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissioner's (MACC) Annual Environmental Conference

Award recognizes Apfeld for potential to become a role model in research and education.

It might sound unusual that a researcher mainly focused on population genetics and evolution in marine systems would be assisting with a study on trees in Canada, but there are more similarities than you think.

Meet Kathleen Lotterhos, a new assistant professor who joined Northeastern this fall. At Northeastern’s Marine Science Center, she will continue her exciting research uncovering clues to environmental sustainability by using genetic analyses to study species from pine trees to Pacific rockfish.

Human bodies work in odd ways. But the majority of the population figures it’s enough that blood gets pumped, air gets exchanged, and synapses fire. In fact, most people don’t even think about the physiological machinations our bodies go through every second of every day.

The North Atlantic coastline has been shaped and reshaped by various glaciations over the past 5.5 million years.

Do marine snails really stress about heat? MSC researchers look into what separates populations of whelks along northwest Atlantic coast.

Most species are content with just one form of reproduction, but not for the coral p. damicornis. These guys make babies sexually and asexually. Doctoral candidate David Combosch wants to know why.

Nazneen Rahman is a geneticist in the UK who finds genes that predispose to cancer and use them to help patients. She was a guest on #sciencechat on Wednesday, September 11, 2013.
