Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Enhanced warming of European mountain permafrost in the early 21st century - Nature Communications Permafrost in Europe’s mountains has warmed by more than 1 °C per decade in certain places, matching the levels in Arctic lowlands. The strongest warming occurred at cold bedrock at the highest elevat...

Excited to share our new study showing that permafrost in Europe's mountains has warmed by more than 1 Β°C per decade in certain places, matching the levels in Arctic lowlands www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is figure 2, which shows the decomposition result of the tourism carbon footprints, 2009-2019.

This is figure 2, which shows the decomposition result of the tourism carbon footprints, 2009-2019.

The carbon emissions associated with global tourism have increased over the past decade, driven by high demand and slow technological efficiency gains, according to a study in Nature Communications. https://go.nature.com/3BcznUl πŸ§ͺ
