Research impact

The Burke Museum is working with researchers from Coastal Raptors to aid in conservation efforts for Washington's coastal raptors.

A Burke team's recent fieldwork in Hell Creek leads to the discovery of a baby Triceratops frill.

New research explores the unique evolutionary relationship between short-tailed fruit bats and New World pepper plants.

When dams cause stagnant lakes to form, frogs may have a harder time reaching opposite sides of lakes and maintaining high levels of genetic variation.

Paleontologists picking through a bounty of fossils from Montana have discovered something unexpected.

Beginning 4,000 years ago, people shifted from living solely on wild foods to farming and raising domestic animals. Why did this change occur?

A new method of sampling fossil leaves allows researchers to more accurately predict climate temperatures.

When paleontologists cut into the fossilized jaw of a distant mammal relative, they got more than they bargained for—more teeth, to be specific.

An early mammal that had, pound-for-pound, the strongest bite force of any mammal ever recorded.
