Martialis Huereka

Scientist discovered a new species of ants in Brazil. The insects have no eyes, its body is pale, and the mouth is bigger then its whole head. Because of the Martialis huereka researchers rethink about the history of ants. Martialis huerekas DNA shows that it is distantly related to any other ant species. Its so distant that i should be in another subfamily. Also, scientist say that the Martialis huereka is from the earliest ant family. They also found out that it lives underground and that can explain why they are blind and pale. Finally, scientist are now finding out if ants first evolved underground.

Global Warming Thretaning Tropics

The tropical plants and animals might be facing a bigger threat then the polar regions. Robert K. Colwell said that the tropics is already a hot how could global warming harm tropical species?
So Robert K. Colwell explained that some tropical species are living near there maximum temperature. Robert K. Colwell researched that the temperature 5.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Tropic species with small range would have to shift thousands of kilometers north or south. Warm climates have already scrammbled small mammals in Yosemite National Park. For some high elevated mammals like alpine chimpmunks have shrunk. However, mammals living at low elevation, like harvest mouse they have expanded their ranges in higher reaches. As you can see global warming is changing our world upside down.
