New research has shown that bacteria can communicate with other species of bacteria via electrical signals in a process that closely mimics the behavior of neurons firing. This knowledge changes how we think about bacterial interactions and could potentially help us understand how colonies of bacteria interact with human biology.

After studying 200,000 trees in 360 rainforest areas, researchers concluded there is no clear correlation between the number of tree species in a forest and its carbon-storage capacity. If we only protect forests with high carbon stocks in our conservations policies, we could leave some of the most biodiverse areas vulnerable to deforestation and other threats.
