00:45 Inert ant pupae produce a previously unobserved fluidAnt larvae metamorphose into adults by pupating. It was assumed that these inert pupae don't play a role in the wider ant colony, but a team of researchers have found that they actually secrete a fluid that is consumed by both adult ants and larvae. This fluid is rich in proteins and metabolites, and appears to be an important source of larval nutrition. These secretions have now been seen in the pupae of multiple ant species, suggesting it is an evolutionary ancient behaviour.Research Article: Snir et al.News and Views: A fluid role in ant society as adults give larvae ‘milk' from pupae07:15 Research HighlightsAncient chefs made bitter plants taste better by soaking and grinding, and an electric fishing-hook attachment that reduces accidental catches of sharks and rays.Research Highlight: Prehistoric rubbish hints that early cooks cared about flavourResearch Highlight: Off the hook: electrical device keeps sharks away from fishing lines09:31 Briefing ChatWe discuss some highlights from the Nature Briefing.

Thailand is not traditionally known as a country that produces specialty coffee, yet it has been producing Arabica coffee since the early '80s. It started off as part of the Thai King’s opium eradication project. Because Arabica coffee thrives in conditions similar to those favoured by opium, it was selected as a substitution crop against the cultivation of the illicit plant. Today, Thailand produces about 8,000 tonnes of Arabica coffee, mainly in the mountainous north of the country. On top of that, Thailand produces about ten times as much Robusta coffee, making it the third-largest coffee producer in Asia. Thai specialty coffee is rarely seen in the top specialty roaster segment abroad. Thailand is a middle-income country and has a thriving local coffee market. That means relatively high production costs for a relatively undemanding coffee market. Having said this, a strong specialty coffee segment is emerging. At least on the consumer side, the Third Wave is quite well established, with artisan roasters and cafés in Bangkok and Chang Mai. These roasters have recently begun to develop and buy local coffees too, not least because of import tariffs on foreign coffees. However, this scene is still very small and hardly creates enough incentives for farmers to improve the quality of their coffee to specialty grade – at least for now. So even though they have been doing a great job at pushing the limits of Thai coffee, the specialty coffee scene would be greatly aided with more specialty coffee knowledge and global integration. Our sourcing partners Beanspire have been actively assisting the farming families of Doi Pangkhon to improve the quality of their coffee. For this lot, they specifically worked with two entrepreneurial siblings of the Becheku family from the Akha hilltribe: Ata and Pupae. At 31, Ata is the oldest of the three siblings. His entrepreneurial spirit and leadership is a force for change in his community. Pupae is Ata’s 27-year-old sister. She worked in both Korea and Taiwan before returning home to Doi Pangkhon to help her brother produce coffee. Pupae speaks fluent Chinese, and she's a Chinese language teacher at a local school. The young Bechekus are third generation coffee farmers at Doi Pangkhon, and they represent one of the most inspiring aspects of the Thai coffee scene. The future of the entire specialty industry around the world is unclear, because farmers and their children are quitting coffee manufacturing for other more lucrative opportunities.  Pupae and other people like her are returning home to work on coffee because they see a bright future in it, and they are farming coffee by choice; not because they lack other opportunities. Doi Pangkhon’s coffee farms, at 1,250–1,500 metres above sea level, contain Caturra, Catimor, Bourbon and Typica cultivars. Such a mixture of cultivars allows farmers to mitigate various risks. For example, Bourbon and Typica tend to be weaker plants and sometimes come under attack from leaf rust and other diseases, but they have great cupping potential. Caturra and especially Catimor are more rust resistant and have a higher yield. Due to the famously fragrant soil in the Chang Rai area, even these hybrid varieties are capable of producing complex and delicious coffees, yet they could struggle if grown in different areas. Imagine a Cadbury's Wholenut - lashings of milk chocolate with a hefty sprinkle of hazelnut - and you're pretty much there with this coffee. Now throw in a sprinkle of macadamia nuts too and just a hint of caramel for a super moreish hug in a mug. Country: Thailand Region: Doi Pangkhong, Chiang Rai Altitude: 1,250–1,500 m.a.s.l.

Something strange and unsettling is happening to Bay Area honeybees. Entomologists at San Francisco State University have identified the culprit: a tiny parasitic fly is causing the bees to exhibit bizarre nocturnal behaviors before suffering a gruesome demise.

Forty percent of the food produced in the U.S. goes uneaten. From "farm to fork", there are many reasons for food waste, including consumer demand for perfect produce and confusion over expiration dates printed on packaged foods. This massive waste occurs as one in six Americans struggles with hunger every day, even in affluent regions such as Silicon Valley.

After a long hiatus (or maybe, if you aren't Hoss, after no hiatus because you've never heard of our stupid show), we're back with a new contest: Who's That Bird: A-frickin' Edition. Just like our earlier contest featuring New Zealand Birds, this time we venture to the dark continent (no racism intended) and check our skills in imagining the appearance and motivation of birds based only on their songs. Warren is playing the calls, which means he's reacharound proof for once, much to John's disappointment. You too may be reacharound proof (for now, at least), but play along anyway. Also, send us a design for a human perching prosthesis. Don�t worry! We'll credit you on the back of the package, and send you some form of royalties, maybe. One more thing: make sure to listen to our exciting new extro, and let us know what you think by email (maskedman@limitedappeal.net). Theme music courtesy of Mugison and Ipecac Recordings.

Tanytarsus is one of the most abundant and diverse genus of Chironomidae. The delimitation of species is based mainly on features of the male genitalia, supported by pupal diagnostic characters. The main purpose of this study was to review all described Tanytarsus species from the Neotropical Region, including some closely related taxa, in order to contribute to the knowledge of the genus Tanytarsus and to the comprehension of the chironomid systematic. The present dissertation is the first review of the genus Tanytarsus in the Neotropical Region. The revision includes more complete diagnoses, morphological descriptions and diagnostic keys to adult males and pupae, as well as new drawings, more detailed measurements, discussions, notes on distribution and, as far as possible, ecological remarks. Pupae and adult males of Nimbocera patagonica Reiss, 1972, Tanytarsus clivosus Reiss, 1972, Tanytarsus cuieirensis Fittkau & Reiss, 1973, Tanytarsus fastigatus Reiss, 1972, Tanytarsus hamatus Reiss, 1972, Tanytarsus hastatus Sublette & Sasa, 1994, Tanytarsus impar Trivinho-Strixino & Strixino, 2004, Tanytarsus ligulatus Reiss, 1972, Tanytarsus limneticus Sublette, 1964, Tanytarsus magnus Trivinho-Strixino & Strixino, 2004, Tanytarsus marauia Sanseverino, Wiedenbrug & Fittkau, 2002, Tanytarsus pandus Sublette & Sasa, 1994, Tanytarsus revolta Sanseverino, Wiedenbrug & Fittkau, 2002, Tanytarsus rhabdomantis (Trivinho-Strixino & Strixino, 1991), Tanytarsus rinihuensis Reiss, 1972, Tanytarsus waika Sanseverino, Wiedenbrug & Fittkau, 2002, and Tanytarsus xingu Sanseverino, Wiedenbrug & Fittkau, 2002 as well as adult males of Tanytarsus branquini Fittkau & Reiss, 1973, Tanytarsus capitatus Sublette & Sasa, 1994, Tanytarsus cururui Fittkau & Reiss, 1973, Tanytarsus curvicristatus Contreras-Lichtenberg, 1988, Tanytarsus guatemalensis Sublette & Sasa, 1994, Tanytarsus monospinosus Ekrem & Reiss, 1999, Tanytarsus paraligulatus Reiss, 1972, Tanytarsus reissi Paggi, 1992, Tanytarsus riopreto Fittkau & Reiss, 1973, and Tanytarsus tumultuarius Ekrem & Reiss, 1999 are reviewed, redescribed and diagnosed. The pupa of Tanytarsus ligulatus Reiss is described for the first time. One paratype and some specimens of Tanytarsus ligulatus Reiss are slightly different from the holotype, and thus are described separately as Tanytarsus cf. ligulatus. The pupa and adult male of Tanytarsus amazonicus spec. nov. as well as adult males of Tanytarsus digitatus spec. nov., Tanytarsus friburgensis spec. nov., Tanytarsus jacaretingensis spec. nov., Tanytarsus pararinihuensis spec. nov. and Tanytarsus pseudorinihuensis spec. nov. are described as new to science. Caladomyia tuberculata (Reiss, 1972) comb. nov. and Caladomyia alata (Paggi, 1992) comb. nov. were previously placed in Tanytarsus and are transferred to the genus Caladomyia Säwedal, 1981. The pupa and adult male of C. tuberculata as well as the adult male of C. alata are also redescribed and diagnosed, and their placement in the genus Caladomyia is discussed. The Tanytarsus riopreto and Tanytarsus marauia species groups are discussed in the light of imaginal and pupal morphology. The diagnostic characters proposed for each group are discussed and compared among their members. In the past, the immature stages of the Nearctic Tanytarsus limneticus as well as those of the Neotropical Tanytarsus rhabdomantis were erroneous placed in the monotypic genus Nimbocera. A detailed discussion about Nimbocera patagonica, Tanytarsus limneticus and Tanytarsus rhabdomantis is presented, including comparisons of immatures and adults and considerations about the validity of the genus Nimbocera. Some Neotropical species seem to share diagnostic characters with Holarctic Tanytarsus species groups. Thus, some Holarctic groups are also discussed and, as far as possible, figured. It was in the scope of this study the recognition and selection of useful characters in imaginal and immature stages in order to improve the systematic of the genus, to discuss the existence of groups of species, to construct diagnostic keys and to allow systematic predictions. The selected morphological features, measurements and terminology used in the present dissertation are described, commented and figured. Keys to adult males and pupae of the studied species were constructed based on diagnostic characters and are presented here for the first time. Potential morphological characters and their states were tentatively selected and commented in the final discussion of the current dissertation.
