Burrowing under soil opens up a whole new world, especially when that soil is on other planets. Getting under the top layer ...

Genetic analyses have solved the riddle of where a marsupial mole fits on the tree of life: It’s a cousin to bilbies, bandicoots and Tasmanian devils.

Marsupial moles, elusive Australian mammals, are confirmed as true marsupials closely related to bilbies and bandicoots.

Chris Packham uses a man-made burrow to observe the ways that moles have adapted for life underground. He explains how they require less oxygen than other mammals and, though they have poor ...

Our findings, now published in Science Advances, were remarkable. By examining eye genes shared among all mammals, we showed that degeneration of the marsupial mole's eyes occurred in stages ...

Or perhaps you're dealing with multiple dark and thick hairs sprouting out of your mole. Science may have a different ...

Celebrated annually on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m., Mole Day commemorates "Avogadro's Number": 6.02 x 10 23. This number--called a mole--is a basic measuring unit in chemistry. Mole Day ...

That's according to a new analysis, described in the journal Science Advances, that looked at DNA from one of these secretive critters. Northern and southern marsupial moles are so rare that a ...

But our recent study in Science Advances has finally started to unravel the basis of their incredible "desert power." Marsupial moles are small, about the length of a pencil, and weigh between 40 ...
