What Ever Happened to the Murder Hornets?

All those biome-specific papers I see that start out by claiming to be "the biggest" or "the most biodiverse" or "the most threatened" or some other thing of global importance, when we have yet to accurately define and map the #biomes on Earth, are getting beyond tedious.
That said, I have to add that #GrassyBiomes are grossly underappreciated compared to #Forests.
In some UK woodlands, every young tree has died. What’s going wrong?

Four #fungi related to species that hijack brains of insects discovered https://phys.org/news/2025-07-fungi-species-hijack-brains-insects.html
"In various #forests across #Thailand, researchers have discovered four new species of #Ophiocordyceps, each specializing in parasitizing one species of fly... In Khao Yai NP near Kong Kaeo Waterfall, for example, they found a robber fly attached to the bottom of a leaf with small flower-like growths protruding from its head, thorax and abdomen, earning the new #fungus the name O. floriformis."
Wetlands are a solution to so many problems we face - from carbon sequestration to biodiversity loss, as well as flood mitigation. And it's in essence comparably easy. Sometimes as easy as filling in the drainages at some points, thus kickstarting the flooding process. Whole forests have in this way been reshaped, or less forested and more open lands.

Wall-e is the best Pixar movie. Change my mind. A great example of Pixar radicalisation.
Don’t even get me started on those meals in a cup they’re doing now.

Native forests sink more carbon than expected, inverse modeling reveals
