Mnemonic
I wrote a letter today and used the word "Mnemonic" four times. Every single time I spelled it wrong, so I wrote this little mnemonic to remember it "Many Nematodes Eat Mushy Organic Noodles In Cafes." Which would be great if only I could remember how to spell nematoads. -

Scientists uncover #beetle transport system for newly identified towering nematodes https://phys.org/news/2026-05-scientists-uncover-beetle-newly-towering.html paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.73510
"In 2025, #Konstanz scientists looked very closely at rotting fruit in local orchards, and observed what no one had before–hundreds of #worms twisting skyward into self-assembled living towers... #nematodes may be trying to hitchhike on #animals to reach new habitats... Now, they identified the carriers of the original worm towers: two sap-feeding #beetles"

A comprehensive #European study reveals that 70% of soils are #contaminated with #pesticide residues, which significantly suppress beneficial soil organisms like #mycorrhizal #fungi and #nematodes , thereby impairing essential soil #biodiversity and function.

🌄Atacama Desert: Nematodes thrive in extreme conditions
A new study reveals that even under harsh and extremely dry conditions, stable and surprisingly diverse soil communities exist. An international team led by researchers from the University of Cologne investigated tiny nematodes in the Chilean Atacama Desert.Read more ▶️ https://uni.koeln/UCRHL

#Roundworms discovered in Great Salt Lake are new to science https://phys.org/news/2025-12-roundworms-great-salt-lake-science.html
"#Nematodes are ubiquitous on Earth... Yet none had been positively detected in #GreatSaltLake until 2022, when expeditions by kayak and bike led by Julie Jung recovered nematodes in the lake's microbialites, the lithified mounds covering parts of the lakebed... nematodes became just the 3rd metazoan taxon known to inhabit the lake's highly saline waters, the other #animals being brine #shrimp and brine #flies"

The sticky battle between microscopic #worms and predatory fungi comes with a genetic trade-off https://phys.org/news/2025-09-sticky-microscopic-worms-predatory-fungi.html
"predatory #fungi use specialized traps—adhesive nets—to capture their nematode prey... the nematode gene nhr-66 controls the production of cuticular #collagens that enable #PredatoryFungi to adhere and capture the #nematodes... While reduced collagen expression helps worms evade fungal traps, it also weakens their protective cuticle, highlighting an evolutionary trade-off"

#Worms form living towers in nature to hitch rides to new habitats https://phys.org/news/2025-06-worms-towers-nature-hitch-habitats.html
Towering behavior and collective dispersal in #Caenorhabditis #nematodes: Daniela Perez et al. https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(25)00601-3
"If food runs out and competition turns fierce, they slither towards their numerous kin. They climb onto each other and over one another until their bodies forge a living tower that twists skyward where they might hitch a ride on a passing animal to greener and roomier pastures."

... surface ca. 2 hrs. after watering --the pots are too high.
Don't know how else to calibrate water 💦, as the plants are so high now and there is rarely enough rain.
As Lionel @lionelb had pointed out, and as I've found quite some leaves with bite damages, I've ordered #nematodes against the weevil, which arrive this week.
https://expressional.social/@lionelb/114471578326823077
Hopefully, they are the root cause: there are quite some more yellow(ish) leaves now!

Mapping #Antarctica's hidden ice-free lands: A blueprint for conservation https://phys.org/news/2025-01-antarctica-hidden-ice-free-blueprint.html paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-025-04424-y
"The ice-free lands are home to uniquely adapted flora including micro-forests of #lichens, #moss, and two flowering plants, Antarctic hairgrass and pearlwort. They also sustain a variety of #mites, #springtails, #tardigrades, #nematodes, #algae, and #microbes. #Seabirds have established breeding colonies in these areas too."

Bacteria & Fungi Come Together in Endosymbiosis Study https://www.labroots.com/trending/cell-and-molecular-biology/27876/bacteria-fungi-endosymbiosis-study
Inducing novel #endosymbioses by implanting bacteria in fungi https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08010-x
"After several generations, the health of the #fungi began to improve. They were changing and adapting to their new resident #bacteria. The bacteria also changed. Both bacterial and fungal cells were found to produce molecules that helped the fungi collect nutrients and battle predators like #amoebae or #nematodes."

Why do #whales beach themselves? A vial of #parasites in a #Tasmanian museum may hold the answer
#PilotWhale that beached in 1973 was infested with thousands of parasitic #nematodes that may have eaten away at its #blowhole
“We already know that parasites cause suicide in many other animals,” co-author and parasite expert Dr Shokoofeh Shamsi. “Why shouldn’t they do in whales?” Shamsi said the parasite infestation could have limited #whale’s ability to navigate
