☆ DeSantis is taking aim at 'zombie studies' on the campaign trail. It's a real thing

Her course lessons include chemical zombification, bacterial zombification and fungal zombification. Lauro, the University of Tampa professor, is scheduled to give a talk in Frankfurt, Germany, this month called, "Who's Afraid of Zombie Studies?" "The talk is pretty much entirely about this DeSantis nonsense, as well as what DeSantis is doing to education in Florida," Lauro said. Since DeSantis has taken aim at Black history, I think we can connect the dots on why the idea of 'zombie studies' gets under his skin so much. The first wave of zombie fiction hit the U.S. in the late 1920s, during the time of the Great Depression.

☆ Missing genes in ‘mind-controlling’ worms pose an evolutionary puzzle

However, when the scientists compared their horsehair worm genomes with genomic information from other animals, something was missing, Cunha told CNN. Two live tangled freshwater horsehair worms, scientifically called Gordionus violaceus, were found in Germany. Mysteries remain about the worms’ movementsAs useful as cilia are, horsehair worms seem to be doing just fine without them, the scientists reported. To date, scientists have identified several hundred species of freshwater horsehair worms and five species of marine horsehair worms. Marine horsehair worms spend their entire lives in water, but freshwater species are only aquatic as adults.

☆ 'Zombie ant' fungi infected with parasites of their own

Over the years, he kept noticing something strange: a fuzzy white fungus growing on top of the zombie ant fungus. João Araújo“We realized that there were two different lineages of fungi, novel lineages of fungi, infecting one species of zombie ant fungus in Florida,” said Araújo, the study’s lead author. Checks and balancesThe fungi attacking the zombie ant fungus don’t, in turn, zombify their host, but they do feed on its tissues and appear to cause it harm. One of the new fungi, Niveomyces coronatus, causes the white coating on the zombie ant fungus. João AraújoThese new genera are the first parasites officially described as infecting the zombie ant fungus, but the researchers suspect there could be others out there.
☆ Древнейшего «муравья-зомби» нашли в янтаре возрастом 50 млн лет
  + stars: | 2021-06-23 | by ( Mld Media Srl | Степанов Георгий | ) noi.md   time to read: +2 min
В куске янтаря возрастом 50 миллионов лет исследователи обнаружили новый вид паразитического гриба, который охотится на муравьев. Одна из самых интригующих и ужасных историй в природе — это грибок, который «зомбирует» муравьев, чтобы распространить свои споры. Там муравей умирает, и из его головы вырастает грибковый стебель, который в конечном итоге выпускает споры на землю, чтобы заразить следующих муравьев. Исследователи обнаружили, что плодовое тело, высвобождающее споры ископаемого паразита, вырастало не из головы муравья, а на другом конце из прямой кишки. «Мы можем видеть большую оранжевую чашевидную аскому с развивающимися перитециями — структурами в форме колб, которые выпускают споры — выходящей из прямой кишки муравья.
