It’s pretty rare, but just like us mammals, some flies actually give live birth. One of them is a parasitic fly species Ormia ochracea ( O. ochracea ). A new study published this week in the Annals of ...

Erik Erikson outlined the psychology behind eight stages of development across your lifespan. Learn about each life stage and how individuals move through them.

DNA barcodes enable researchers to track cells early in embryo development as they divide, migrate and specialize into the organs, tissues and systems that keep us alive.

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells ...
