A research team from the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science and the Smithsonian has discovered a new plant fossil that gives valuable insight into what southern New Mexico may have looked like in a time before dinosaurs roamed the earth.

A curious UNM doctoral student has stumbled upon a new type of bird family after exhaustively testing the genetic makeup of two white-crowned shrikes found in central and southern Africa. And, as it turns out, these birds have been misclassified for centuries.
