For decades, forests were understood from the surface up: trunks, canopies, scattered roots. What lay beneath—fungi, roots, and their dense entanglements—barely registered. In a conversation with forest ecologist Suzanne Simard, Nautilus explores how that picture has changed. Over the past 20 years, Simard’s work on mycorrhizae—the symbiotic partnerships between fungi and roots—has shown that trees are connected not only to soil, but to one another.

One might wonder how a single psilocybin trip could compare to the catalog of rich transcendent experiences that might accumulate over a lifetime of religious devotion. Now, nearly a decade later, the results of this controversial experiment have come to light. Some of these clergy have become evangelists for psychedelics, incorporating them into their own religious teachings.

Icelandic horses are renowned for their unique gaits, which set them apart from other breeds. Beyond the standard walk, trot, canter, and gallop, they possess the ability to tölt—a smooth, four-beat gait—and perform the flying pace, or skeið, a high-speed lateral gait used in racing. These distinctive movements have long fascinated breeders and scientists alike, and recent genetic research is shedding new light on what enables these horses to move the way they do.

Researchers pitted the collective problem-solving skills of humans against a cadre of Paratrechina longicornis—better known as longhorn crazy ants. To do so, they set both species loose to solve a puzzling problem involving shoving an awkward shape through a simple maze. It would require cooperation, stamina, trial-and-error—and perhaps even a bit of sacrificing one’s ego to the greater cause. As it turns out, ants are pretty smart when you get them together. When they join forces, as they did i

In a modest rectangular enclosure surrounded by sparse green shrubbery, just past the main gate of San Diego Zoo Safari Park, a middle-aged hyacinth macaw blasts Daft Punk on his bespoke boombox. His name is Sampson and he likes to dance. Sampson can operate the boombox, aptly named JoyBranch, by biting or holding on to a kind of joystick made to look like a slice of log with a twig protruding from it. Motion sensorskeep the music going as long as he bobs and nods, dipping his head in rhythm. An

Ask a male sea turtle if too many females is a problem and he'd probably say no. But ask an ecologist and they'd say absolutely. We know the temperature of the sand incubating a sea turtle’s egg will determine the hatchling’s sex. The problem: warmer sands are exclusively producing female turtles. And because sea turtles reach sexual maturity much later in life, the unbalanced ratio of females to males we see today was a product of the environment decades ago. Scientists are now in a race agains
