New research suggests mushrooms can communicate with each other using up to 50 “words”
A recent study published in the Royal Society Open Science journal has found that mushrooms can communicate with each other. Scientists even believe they are able to use up to 50 “words.” “[We] found that the ‘fungal language’ exceeds the European languages in morphological complexity,” reads the study, written by Andrew Adamatzky, professor of computer science at […]

Antarctic petrels (birds) mysteriously disappear from Svarthamaren Mountain
In 1984, there were over 400,000 Antarctic petrels in Svarthamaren Mountain, Antarctica. By 2020, there were less than 100,000. But in 2022, Antarctic petrels have completely disappeared in the area. Petrels are considered to be the only species of birds in the world under the genus Thalassoica. These seabirds have large brown and white wings with white underparts […]

Marine life is thriving on the Antarctic seafloor, even after being trapped under the ice for 50 years
Researchers have discovered that the Antarctic seabed is teeming a rich community of sea creatures. The marine organisms – trapped under the ice for five decades – came to light after an iceberg over two times bigger than New York City broke off of the Brunt Ice Shelf in northern Antarctica last month. The iceberg, called A-74, drifted into the Weddell Sea […]

MRI-based map of squid brains reveal cephalopods are just as smart as dogs
The cephalopod class of mollusks – which include cuttlefish, squid, and octopuses – are considered intelligent invertebrates and are important examples of advanced cognitive evolution in animals. Without exception, cephalopods are active predators that have the ability to locate and capture prey, which demands some sort of reasoning power. There are more to squids than […]

The decision comes after the release of a new report by researchers from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). This report reviewed hundreds of scientific studies that contain evidence regarding the potential sentient capabilities of cephalopod […]

Green scream: Plants emit “ultrasonic squeals” when stressed by drought or physical damage
Plants let out “ultrasonic squeals” when they are damaged or stressed by drought. Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel discovered this after placing microphones near tomato and tobacco plants. Thanks to the microphones, the researchers were able to detect distinct sounds emanating from the plants. The sounds are too high-frequency for humans to hear, but other plants and some animals may be able to perceive […]

Newly discovered wasp species can turn its prey into zombies
Researchers have discovered 15 previously unknown species of wasps that can turn their prey into zombies. The newfound species lay their eggs in their hosts like others in the genus Acrotaphus. After an egg hatches, the larva takes over the body of its prey and manipulates its behavior. “The Acrotaphus wasps we studied are very interesting as they are able […]

PLAGUE: Brood X cicadas are now emerging in the Mid-Atlantic
Billions, if not trillions, of cicadas have emerged from below the ground in the Mid-Atlantic, a plague of biblical proportions that occurs only once every 17 years. In fact, there are so many cicadas that they appear on weather radars in Loudoun County, Virginia, as rain. In a tweet posted on Monday, June 7, Lauryn […]

Scientists discover fully regenerating marine animal
Certain amphibians, fish and other sea creatures can grow back missing limbs or damaged organs like brains and hearts. But one species of sea squirt, in particular, takes regeneration to the extreme, growing back entire organs even after being dissected into three separate, organless sections. Researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel were shocked to discover that the sea […]
