Earth’s hidden insects: Scientists estimate there could be 20 million species, triple what was thought https://t.co/RqHsEeS0DY #Insects #Biodiversity #Wildlife #Therearenospecificcountrycodesinthegiventweet.

Social insects are an excellent example of how the genome regulates lifespan 🐜 In Harpegnathos ants, when a queen dies, some workers undergo a caste switch to reproductive pseudo-queens and live up to 5× longer 🤯 Now a new study identifies a specific peptide (HCRG1) that #SocialInsects #AntQueen #LifespanResearch #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Researchers uncover mechanism responsible for the most famous carnivorous plant’s snapping jaw — Venus flytraps can modify the mechanical properties of their cellular walls almost instantaneously, allowing them to capture insects in a tenth of a second https://t.co/XStw8brAX8 #VenusFlytrap #CarnivorousPlants #PlantMechanics #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

Research from the University of Sheffield highlights how the "lightning fast" reactions and movement patterns of fruit flies and other insects, driven by a mechanism called high-frequency jumping, can revolutionize artificial intelligence in robotics and self-driving cars by enabling faster, more efficient information processing that combines movement with visual perception. #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #Neuroscience #GB
