Insects are essential to vertebrate life—as food, shelter and medicine
While insects provide an essential food source for many vertebrate species, they're more than just a protein-laden snack. Chimpanzees use them to sterilize wounds, and herons use them as fishing bait. Sloths rely on moths to maintain the algae in their fur, which they then eat. Birds and reptiles lay their eggs inside the temperature-controlled sanctuary of termite mounds, while some desert frogs reside in ant nests because of the humidity.

Drones and Deep Learning Join Forces to Read the Secret Language of Forests
Forests are a critical frontline in the fight against climate change, but the complex details of their carbon storage have long been hidden in a blur of overlapping canopies. To truly understand their potential, we need to know not just the size of trees, but their species and how they interact. New research provides a groundbreaking method to create precise maps of forest carbon stock at the individual tree level. By fusing high-resolution drone imagery with powerful artificial intelligence (AI
