RE: A new study suggest that desert ants (Cataglyphis) use the geomagnetic field to navigate to find the nest
Leaves me with mixed feelings. It s awesome, how animals interact or react on conditions, we wouldn't even know about without our technical possibilities. On the other hand this leads to the question what human kind already destroyed or destroys right now, before we re even able to understand the connections. The oceans Currents, rural areas soaked in Round Up, genetic manipulated corn mixes with natural varieties by force, crossbreeded bees that turn out different than expected, just to name a few. Don't wanna sound too pessimistic but my trust in humanity is scattered when in 2018, there are still people consider it sexy to go hunting and the rain forest still gets rocket launched for genetic crippled cows for fast food... I have to stop here, hope you got the point. It s wonderful and sad in the same time for me.
I definitely get the point. There are so many species that are going extinct every day, and we have probably lead a lot of undiscovered species to extinction due to us cutting down so much jungle and other biodiverse habitats. It's sad that we will never know what secrets these species had.
