Four #fungi related to species that hijack brains of insects discovered phys.org/news/2025-07-fungi-sp

"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.
