Imagine something secretly entering your body and controlling your behavior, turning you into one of those zombies from science fiction movies. Does that sound creepy? That's exactly how a parasitic fungus species called the "zombie ant fungus," inhabiting tropical forests around the world, attacks ant colonies. What happens is that when spores from the fungus land on an ant searching for food in the forest, it infects the ant, hijacks its central nervous system, and controls its brain with a special chemical. The victim doesn't act like an ant but like a zombie: it stops searching for food for its colony, and instead climbs up a tree and holds onto a leaf or a branch, where it is finally killed by the fungus. Soon, a stalk of spores grows out of the back of the ant's head, from which more spores can access more ants under the tree, a cruel but very effective way of expanding the fungus' territory.

While the zombie ant fungi reproduce by enslaving poor ants, an invertebrate species called the tardigrades is extremely difficult to kill, earning the title, "the toughest animal" in the world. Their main habitat is wet areas, such as tropical rain forests, the freezing waters of the Arctic Ocean or even your garden. They are as small as the period at the end of every sentence you write. Despite their small size, however, they employ a series of remarkable survival tactics. Putting them in boiling alcohol or into the extreme cold of -272℃ won't kill them. Hunger or thirst is not a word in their dictionary: they can live without food or water for decades. The vacuum of outer space can't stop them either; they were sent to space in 2007 and were found to have survived exposure to vacuum and deadly solar radiation for ten full days. How do tardigrades survive such harsh environments? Many things are still unknown about their survival tactics, but one trick they employ to fight dry seasons is relatively well documented. They rely on "cryptobiosis," which is when they don't die but go into a state where their metabolism decreases to 0.01% of normal activity. They do this by curling up and drying out their body. They can remain in this dehydrated state for decades. They avoid going completely dry with the help of some protectants in their body mass, which prevent the main components of their cells, including their DNA, from being destroyed. When exposed to water, they rehydrate and reawaken. Their ability to cope with extreme heat and cold, radiation, and pressure is still under investigation.

The wonders of nature exist not only in the animal kingdom but also in the world of plants. One amazing plant is the floating bladderwort, which inhabits every continent except Antarctica. It is a plant with no true leaves or roots but displays beautiful yellow flowers. Bladderworts float freely on the surface of lakes or ponds without rooted connections to the soil. They grow in areas that lack dissolved minerals. What is needed is something to supplement their diet, and thus they feed on small creatures in ponds like water fleas. With their sophisticated trapping mechanism, underwater seed-like bladders suck in prey in the blink of an eye. This carnivorous plant uses a vacuum-driven suction trap. Two structures compose the trap: the walls and the trap door. When the walls pump out water while the trap door is locked, the walls create a partial vacuum inside, storing potential mechanical energy like a spring. At the bottom of the door, trigger hairs act like a lever that blocks the external water from rushing in. The hairs are very sensitive, and a slight touch by a nearby prey activates them, unlocking the door and expanding the walls, which causes the water surrounding the prey to be sucked into the bladder. It only takes a thousandth of a second for a water flea to touch the hair and be sucked in. Our trapping mechanism is the best in the plant kingdom!
《TRAPPING MECHANISM》
1. A water flea touches a hair trigger.
2. The bladder opens up the door, sucking in the flea.
3. It closes the door again and releases water to create a vacuum anew.

Many of us take it for granted that only humans farm food. However, a recently discovered deep-sea crab species called the Yeti challenges that notion. Yeti crabs live 2,000 meters below the surface of the ocean, deep down on sulfur-rich thermal vents that spew water as hot as 380℃. In such harsh environments, they survive by growing bacteria on their hairy claws, which constitute their main food source. There is no light down there, so photosynthesis is impossible. Instead, the bacteria rely on what's known as chemosynthesis, using oxygen from the surrounding water and the methane or sulfide from the vents. The crabs often wave their hairy claws near the vents, allowing the bacteria on the hair to have better access to oxygen, methane, or sulfide to grow better, which is definitely a cool way of farming in the deep. Despite the relatively recent appearance of modern humans on Earth, we are led to believe that we "dominate" the natural world and that we are the "superior" life form. A closer look at microorganisms, however, demonstrates that plants and animals have adapted to their environments far better than we have and in ways that we cannot even imagine. It is true that we have done well to change our environment so that it is more suitable to us, but a study of other life forms leads us to question why we must always change our environment instead of adapting to it the way that other successful life forms have. Perhaps we need a dose of humility and a shift in perspective. Maybe we simply are not the masters of this world.

Humans convey messages using spoken or written language to fulfill everyday needs, but do trees in the forest communicate with each other? Many scientists, including Professor Suzanne Simard at the University of British Columbia, say trees can "talk" to each other using a network of fungi in the soil. The interdependent relationship between trees and soil fungi is well documented. These types of fungi cannot photosynthesize in the dark, so they have to obtain carbon for survival. Meanwhile, carbon is provided by the tree roots in exchange for nutrients and water the fungi bring to the tree. It's a symbiotic relationship between fungi and the roots of a plant. What Dr. Simard's team discovered is that trees in forests all over the world cooperate with each other using fungi networks. They cooperate not only for resource transfer but also for other purposes like defense signaling or recognition of their own kind, just as humans shout warnings or call out to their children. Communication signals are mostly sent out by the "mother tree" of the forest, according to Dr. Simard. Mother trees are large, old trees with bigger root systems and bigger fungal networks. When they get seriously injured, they dump carbon into the network and increase secretion of warning chemicals. However, if the network is severed, signals cannot be sent and carbon cannot be transferred. Mother trees can also recognize whether a young tree nearby is the same species. When it is the same kind, they favor it by feeding and protecting it through their rich network. In a sense, soil fungi networks are media that may allow trees to "speak."
