The larvae of this beetle mimic the smell of flowers to attract bees and invade their nests

The larvae of the Meloe proscarabaeus beetle have developed a sophisticated parasitic strategy: they cluster on plants and emit aromas that mimic the smell of flowers, attracting bees. When the bee lands, the larvae attach themselves to its body and are transported to the nest, where they feed on the eggs and stored pollen, thus completing their life cycle at the expense of the bee.

Scientists develop yeast and gelatin-based formula to 3D print houses on Mars

Chinese scientists developed a formula for 3D printing houses on Mars using a mixture of Martian rocks with gelatin and terrestrial yeast that, when exposed to extreme cold and low pressure on the planet, hardens and generates a living construction material as resistant as concrete. The method, detailed in the journal Chem Circularity, allows building colonies on Mars without the need to transport heavy materials and would save energy, unlike previous proposals that required heating and melting rocks. The tested structures are small domes of about 45 mm, but the material is resistant enough for one or two-story buildings on Earth, and would be even more resistant on Mars. Furthermore, the yeast can be recovered and reused, enabling a circular economy on the red planet, although it has not yet been tested under real Martian conditions.

Work stress may be associated with erectile dysfunction, study points out

A study conducted in China with 826 full-time workers, aged between 22 and 40 years, between 2022 and 2024, identified a strong association between high levels of work stress and erectile dysfunction. Among participants with the highest work-related stress, 54% experienced erection difficulties, compared to only 8% in the group with the lowest pressure. The research evaluated five aspects of work routine: workload, autonomy, support from superiors, relationships with colleagues, and pressure for promotions, dividing participants into four groups according to stress level.

Native forest of the Azores proves that not all biodiversity is on the brink of collapse

A study of more than 20 years conducted in the native forests of the Azores analyzed 30 thousand observations of 405 species of arthropods, demonstrating that not all biodiversity is on the brink of collapse. The research, which covered an extended period, allowed conclusions about the resilience of island ecosystems and the importance of preserving native habitats in maintaining biological diversity.
