In a newly-identified ancient species, scientists have found evidence that ultrasonic hearing — and use of the navigational technique of echolocation — goes back millions of years earlier in whales than previously known.  A newly-identified ancient species of whale suggests the water-bound mammals were capable of ultrasonic hearing much earlier than previously known.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, a tiny green microbe joined forces with a fungus, and together they conquered the world. It’s a tale of two cross-kingdom organisms, one providing food and the one other shelter, and it’s been our touchstone example of symbiosis for 150 years.

Evolution Is Happening Faster Than We Thought.  In the extremity of the urban environment, natural selection is transforming species in unexpected ways.  Early in the 19th century, probably in Germany, blackbirds began settling in cities. By the mid-20th century, they were hopping around on stoops all over Europe. Many “wild” bird species — like the peregrine falcons, red-tailed hawks and laughing gulls of New York — have set up camp in cities... They have stockier bills, sing at a higher pitch.
