Ants are also eusocial and colonial organisms鈥攖heir lifecycle is built on the labor of sterile worker ants who support a small number of reproductive individuals. Given the climatic changes that our planet faces, we need to understand how various important taxonomic groups will respond; this ...
who was not involved with the study, said he finds the idea plausible. "Clearly, more studies on the role of ants and other animals populating soils are needed to broaden our understanding of their significance in global biotic enhancement of weathering," Schwartzman told Live Science. ...

They also attached underwater microphones and accelerometers (感应器) to some of the penguins. Recording the noise will tell researchers what the penguins are hearing, if they’re talking while hunting, if they’re changing their movements in response to noise, and if the noise is drowning out...
Climate can therefore serve as an important proxy to estimate the potential distribution of invasive ants worldwide. It is generally recognized that climate change is going to be a major determinant of species physiology, phenology and range shifts during this century [26]....
In this study, we examine the role of bacterial symbionts in the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens response to insecticide (imidacloprid) under different temperature scenarios. Our results reveal that the bacterial symbionts orchestrate host detoxification metabolism via the CncC pathway to promote host...
Our current food system relies on unsustainable practices, which often fail to provide healthy diets to a growing population. Therefore, there is an urgent demand for new sustainable nutrition sources and processes. Microorganisms have gained attention a
Plants and pollinators might respond differently to changes in climate, and thus plant-pollinator relationships are vulnerable to spatial, temporal, morphological and recognition mismatches. Although the effects of climate change on pollinators and pollination services are expected to be greater in the ...
The general premise of the forest refuge theory, which was developed with reference to the Pleistocene climatic oscillations, is that climate change can lead to isolation of conspecific populations, which will then become genetically differentiated and eventually speciate (Haffer, 1969; Prance, 1982)....
