A flat, rounded shell. A tail that's folded under the body. This is what a crab looks like, and apparently what peak performance might look like — at least according to evolution. A crab-like body plan has evolved at least five separate times among decapod crustaceans, a group that includes crabs, lobsters and shrimp. In fact, it's happened so often that there's a name for it: carcinization. So why do animals keep evolving into crab-like forms? Scientists don't know for sure, but they have lots of ideas. Carcinization…

The explosion of the Chernobyl reactor in 1986 left a large area around the plant uninhabitable by humans because of lingering nuclear radiation. However, animals, like feral dogs, have continued to strive within the area, and new research shows that some Chernobyl animals may be evolving faster than others. The new study featured in the journal Science Advances earlier this month showcases an examination of over 300 feral dogs living within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ). Compared to dogs living just 10…
