These ants navigate with a compass tuned to the moon Read Full Article #AntNavigation #MoonCompass #InsectScience
🌕 New research reveals bull ants use an innate lunar compass for nighttime navigation, a behavior previously unknown.
⏰ Scientists discovered these ants employ "time compensation" to track the moon's position, similar to how early humans used the North Star.
🔬 Experiments showed that when deprived of light cues, ants deviated from their path, confirming the moon's crucial role in their navigation.
⭐ Bull ants combine their lunar navigation with terrestrial and solar cues, allowing them to navigate effectively even when moon visibility changes.

Scientists have discovered a tiny marine microbe with one of the smallest genomes on record, which lacks almost all metabolic pathways and functions as a potential parasite, pushing the boundaries of how simple an autonomous living cell can be. Read Full…
🔬 A newly discovered microbe, Sukunaarchaeum mirabile, found within marine plankton off Japan, possesses one of the smallest genomes ever recorded at just 238 kilobase pairs (kbps) of DNA.
🔬 This tiny archaeon challenges the definition of "life" by having a near-complete absence of recognizable metabolic pathways, leading researchers to propose it may be a parasite.
🔬 Its genome size is even smaller than some viruses, which are not considered living. Sukunaarchaeum mirabile appears to retain the ability to replicate its genome and produce proteins, suggesting it's near the minimum genetic information for an independent cell.
