Fungus-farming ants have evolved a remarkable solution to the danger of excess carbon dioxide inside their nests – which could inspire ways for humans to capture CO2 https://t.co/q3cHZmUTL7

These ants convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into mineral armor https://t.co/TvGWzSBgFU

We found monthly variations in honey quality in a dry forest during the dry season, indicating that arid conditions impact bee-produced honey. This study sheds light on how global warming may influence honey quality in tropical arid areas. Thank you all. https://t.co/hNlfJknyIn

Exciting news! We are thrilled to announce our research paper shedding light on the remarkable antiviral effect of #Wolbachia. Our findings reveal its effectiveness against two newly discovered #viruses.

@mrcjhoward A collegue has seen something like that with some "porine" ants in Panama. I would suggest to collect samples of both ants and fungus. Also, it would be could cool if you record any behavioural interaction between them at lab conditions...I will post this to my colleague.

@David_Hillis The worst thing is that this type of discrimination is so common that we (non-native speakers) accept it as part of the process of submitting an article
