Image via Warner Bros. Henry Cavill fans have yet to recover from the actor’s rough 2022. After several years of dominating some of cinema’s biggest franchises, Cavill lost several treasured roles last year.

A hornet senses a chemical distress signal from an agarwood tree and zips over, hoping to devour a customary meal of attacking caterpillars. But when it arrives, there are no caterpillars, and it has to settle for agarwood seeds—which the duped insect carries away, unwittingly helping the tree reproduce. A new study in Current Biology says this is the first-known case of a plant deploying such defensive chemicals to spread its seeds. The agarwood species Aquilaria sinensis is native to tropical China. When caterpillars…

Greater mouse-eared bats are preyed upon by owls, but the owls themselves likely avoid hornets, for fear of getting stung. New research suggests that the bats take advantage of this fact, by buzzing like hornets to keep owls at bay.The study is being led by Assoc. Prof. Danilo Russo, of Italy's University of Naples Federico II.Several years ago, he noticed that when he was handling greater mouse-eared bats that had been caught in mist nets, those bats produced a hornet-like buzzing sound. At the time, Russo and colleagues…

Greater mouse-eared bats. Scientists have discovered the first case of acoustic Batesian mimicry in mammals: greater mouse-eared bats imitate the buzzing sound of a stinging insect to deter predatory owls from eating them.In Batesian mimicry, a harmless species imitates a more dangerous one in an evolutionary “ruse” that protects the mimic from would-be predators. Now, researchers reporting today (May 9, 2022) in the journal Current Biology have discovered the first case of acoustic Batesian mimicry in mammals and one of…
