Raiding parties are the soldiers, bearing enormous heads armed with long, scissor-like mandibles capable of dismantling prey piece by piece…
What driver ants lack in size they make up for in sheer weight of numbers. A single colony may contain more than a million workers, and when they go hunting, the forest floor itself seems to come alive.
These expeditions are driven by the…

Old-growth forests hold far more carbon than managed forests
What if forests are doing much more for the climate than we ever imagined? A new study shows that some forests quietly store huge amounts of carbon, far more than scientists once believed.
This discovery changes how people understand climate…
