Science and cookies: Researchers tap into citizen science to shed light on ant diversity

Scientists have combined cookies, citizen science and robust research methods to track the diversity of ant species across the United States, and are now collaborating with international partners to get a global perspective on how ants are moving and surviving in the modern world. The School of Ants project was developed to help researchers get a handle on the diversity of ant species across the United States.

Butterflies could hold key to probes that repair genes

New discoveries about how butterflies feed could help engineers develop tiny probes that siphon liquid out of single cells for a wide range of medical tests and treatments, according to researchers. The technology could be used for medical devices, nanobioreactors that make complex materials and flying "micro-air vehicles" the size of an insect. View the Original article

Antarctic midge's genome is smallest in insects to date: Bare-bones genome is adaptation to deep freeze

Scientists who sequenced the genome of the Antarctic midge suspect the genome’s small size -- the smallest in insects described to date -- can probably be explained by the midge’s adaptation to its extreme living environment. View the Original article
