How do #animals #aggregate?#Mites can find each other based on #pheromones, while #sight is important for herd-forming #mammals. In #marine #habitats, #hearing plays a major role. D.McAfee et al.(2022) showed that #oyster #larvae react to the #soundscape of a healthy #reef via #statocysts in front of their bodies, thus finding their adult conspecifics for #reefformation. Reef formation can be artificially #stimulated via artificial #soundwaves.

Casu marsu, the cheese with worms in the Sardinian tradition

– insects at the table have jumped to the news, thanks to new regulation on novel food. (1) But precisely in Italy – where the Ministry of Health has hired a prudential position towards ‘new foods’ – …

Creatures buried in soil for over a century burst back to life in Toronto waterfront
A project to restore coastal #wetland leads to astonishing discoveries of a host of life: seeds and plant scraps, as well as water fleas, #worms, #larvae and #plankton

Better together: sibling cooperation matters! Burying beetle larvae consistently benefited from growing up with siblings — both with and without parents. This study by Huber et al. shows that sibling interactions can play a key role in the evolution of family life. Read now ahead of print!

#Lauxaniidae (#Acalyptratae, #Diptera) are smaller #fly species that often prefer the proximity of forests. Their #larvae, as a #saprophagous developmental stage, feed on dead wood or other decomposing plant #debris. The author, C. H. Marchiori (2024), has #studied the #biology, morphology, and systematics of this and other fly taxa.

The #antbagbeetle #Clytra laeviuscula (#Chrysomelidae, #Coleoptera) is a #phytophagous #beetle #species widespread in Europe with a #myrmicophilic relationship of the #larvae and #pupae to #antnests of the genera #Formica, #Lasius and Camponotus. The larva lives mainly from the food of the ant larvae. It is protected from ant attacks by own dropping pieces (#skatoconches). Pupation also takes place in this protected manner. #evolution #biodiversity

The #clickbeetle #Agrypnus #murinus (#Agrypninae, #Elateridae) is #phytophagous as #adult #beetle, while the #larvae are soil dwellers and feed on roots, but also as predators, particularly targeting the larvae of other insects.
The species is #widespread in the Near East, the #easternPalearctic and the Nearctic realm. White and brown #scales give the species it's impressive look. The base color is darker. #Biodiversity #entomology

A #clam presumed #extinct for 40,000 years has been found alive https://www.sciencenews.org/article/clam-presumed-extinct-found-alive

A #fossil species found living off southern #California, with notes on the genus Cymatioa (#Mollusca, #Bivalvia, Galeommatoidea) https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/95139/

The researchers still puzzle over how the critters eluded #science for so long. One idea is that C. cooki’s preferred habitat is farther south, perhaps in a remote area. A mass of warm water may have washed some clam #larvae toward #SantaBarbara.
