New research from Dartmouth College raises questions over how scientists should interpret observed groupings of bacteria. The study advises caution with the assumption that bacterial clusters are ...

Professor Anna Panorska and her former master’s student David Kweku (Statistics and Data Science), along with an interdisciplinary and international team of researchers, recently authored an article ...

Classifying species is a notoriously sticky problem in biology. As a very broad rule, organisms can be classified as belonging to a distinct species if they can successfully mate with each other to ...

When classifying bacteria and fungi, morphological features are v­ery relevant. Colony morphology is a useful tool widely used to classify and define them by researchers. Carefully studied and used ...

Researchers have used mathematical equations to shed new light on how flowing fluid hinders the movement of bacteria in their search for food. Researchers from the University of Liverpool have used ...

There are several interesting new developments in relation to microbial life in the oceans and the information informs about the health of the oceans and other useful ecological information. The first ...

A new study provides new insights into processes behind the evolution of microorganisms and describes what it means for existing bacterial classification approaches. New research from Dartmouth ...
