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. Carbon, nutrients, and water move through fung

Researchers have observed curious behavior in a pod of orcas off the coast of Washington: the whales pluck stalks of bull kelp, pinch them between two bodies, and rub them back and forth like a massage roller. They've dubbed this behavior "allokelping." So far, allokelping appears to be unique to the Southern Resident population of orcas, but Michael Weiss, the research director of the Center for Whale Research, has come to believe that it is integral to their way of being: “This is actually one

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.

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

Standard ultrasound is already popular in clinical imaging given that it is minimally invasive, low-cost, portable, and can generate images in real time. But until now, it has rarely been used to image the brain. That’s partly because the skull gets in the way—bone tends to scatter ultrasound waves—and the technology is too slow to detect blood flow in the smaller arteries that support most brain function. But a new method of ultrafast ultrasound can trace brain signaling with great precision, d
