<br>
<p>In an astonishing discovery that redefines our understanding of insect anatomy and symbiosis, researchers have uncovered a unique fungal nursery hidden within the hindlegs of female dinidorid stinkbugs, challenging the long-held assumption that these structures served as auditory organs. Traditionally, the conspicuously enlarged surface on the hindleg of female dinidorid stinkbugs has been identified as a tympanal organ—an evolutionary adaptation seen in various insect species for detecting sound. However, pioneering investigations into the Japanese species Megymenum gracilicorne reveal this organ is instead a sophisticated fungal symbiotic hub, instrumental in safeguarding the next generation against parasitic threats.</p> <p>Detailed morphological analyses showed that what was presumed to be a thin, sensitive tympanal membrane is, in fact, a robust cuticular surface densely perforated by thousands of tiny pores. These microscopic openings are conduits for glandular secretions, which nurture the growth of symbiotic fungal hyphae directly on the insect’s leg. This fungal symbiosis is far from a passive association; it represents an active, evolved mechanism whereby female stinkbugs coat their freshly laid eggs with a living fungal shield.</p> <p>The ecological implications of this discovery are profound. Parasitic wasps are notorious for exploiting stinkbug eggs, depositing their own larvae inside and effectively hijacking the stinkbug’s reproductive success. However, the fungal hyphae emanating from the leg organ form a physical barrier that deters such parasitism. Behavioral observations and controlled experiments demonstrated that when eggs are fully smeared with fungal filaments, parasitic wasps are unable to oviposit successfully. In contrast, eggs that were stripped of these fungal coverings—or those laid by females with surgically removed hindlegs—experienced dramatically elevated rates of parasitism.</p>
<p>Molecular identification of the fungal constituents uncovered a diverse assemblage belonging predominantly to the Cordycipitaceae family. This group typically includes insect pathogens, yet fascinatingly, the fungi associated with stinkbug hindlegs appear to adopt a low-pathogenicity profile. This ensures a benign or even beneficial interaction with the host insect and contrasts starkly with their closely related pathogenic relatives. Notably, these fungi do not infect the parasitic wasps, implying that the defensive role is purely mechanical rather than chemical or microbial antagonism.</p> <p>This symbiotic system holds remarkable evolutionary significance. Unlike typical insect-fungus associations—often limited to gut symbionts or external colonies—this previously unknown organaceous adaptation showcases a direct morphological specialization for symbiont cultivation and vertical transmission. The intimate integration of fungal propagation into the anatomy and reproductive behavior of the stinkbug signals a sophisticated mutualism refined by millions of years of co-evolution. Such innovations illustrate the limits of traditional categorizations of insect organs and underscore the multifaceted roles symbiotic fungi can play beyond nutrition or digestion.</p> <p>The research also extends beyond Megymenum gracilicorne. Examination of multiple species within the family Dinidoridae revealed a consistent presence of this female-specific hindleg structure and associated egg-smearing behavior, indicating a widespread symbiotic trait within this lineage. This suggests that the fungal nursery and its protective function may be a defining feature that has contributed to the evolutionary success—and survival—of these stinkbugs in the face of relentless parasitic pressure.</p> <p>From a biomechanical perspective, the leg organ represents a novel, natural design for symbiont nurturing. The cuticle-based surface provides structural durability, while the innumerable pores facilitate fungal secretion and anchorage without compromising the insect’s mobility or leg function. This design balances the competing demands of symbiont cultivation and physical robustness, ensuring that female stinkbugs can both carry the fungal community and perform their daily activities unencumbered.</p> <p>The methodology employed by the researchers incorporated a multidisciplinary approach, blending behavioral ecology, molecular biology, microscopy, and experimental manipulation. Controlled amputation experiments revealed causality between the presence of the hindleg organ and parasitism rates. Microscopic imaging elucidated the anatomical features, while fungal isolation and DNA sequencing characterized the symbiotic assemblage with high precision. Together, these techniques illuminate a complex biological phenomenon previously obscured by assumptions rooted in comparative anatomy.</p> <p>In conclusion, this groundbreaking study redefines the functional landscape of insect hearing organs, demonstrating that what appeared to be an auditory apparatus is, in fact, a specialized structure facilitating fungal cultivation for offspring protection. It prompts a re-examination of other insect morphological structures potentially misinterpreted and highlights the intricate evolutionary interplay between insects and their microbial partners. The defensive fungal symbiosis uncovered here exemplifies nature’s inventive strategies to combat parasitism and preserve reproductive success through cooperative interactions.</p> <p>As this symbiotic relationship unfolds at the intersection of entomology, mycology, and evolutionary biology, it heralds new avenues for studying symbioses that transcend nutrition and extend into defensive ecology. Understanding such systems could inspire biomimetic applications in pest control and deepen comprehension of natural defense mechanisms within ecosystems.</p> <p>This revelation invites scientists to reconsider the subtle and often overlooked alliances that insects maintain with microorganisms. Beyond the immediate biological interest, it also bears potential implications for agricultural pest management, given the widespread impact of parasitic wasps on stinkbug populations, some of which are crop pests. Leveraging natural fungal defenses could offer environmentally sustainable strategies for mitigating parasitic wasp damage without reliance on chemical insecticides.</p> <p>Ultimately, the discovery that female dinidorid stinkbugs have evolved a specialized organ devoted to cultivating protective fungal shields reveals an extraordinary example of nature’s resourcefulness. It challenges entrenched notions about insect organ function and opens new horizons for exploring symbiotic adaptations that have evolved to secure offspring survival amidst a hostile biological landscape.</p>

Dimon's pledge: $10 billion for America's future Added: Oct 17, 2025
**Jamie Dimon has his MAGA moment, and not a moment too soon **
Site: The Hill
Beijing has the U.S. economy in a choke hold; our country needs an all-out Manhattan Project-like effort to address those vulnerabilities, and JPMorganChase’s CEO has pledged to help. Other America…
Jamie Dimon, widely regarded as the most influential banker of this generation, has gone full MAGA. It couldn’t have come at a better time. China’s president, Xi Jinping, is waging an economic war against the U.S., and our country needs to push back hard. As President Trump attempts to curb China’s unfair trade practices, America’s vulnerabilities are on full display. Despite the critical importance of the U.S. consumer to China’s struggling economy, the White House’s threat of punitive tariffs has not swayed Beijing. Xi is meeting — and, indeed, topping — Trump’s tariffs with measures such as blocking exports of rare earths, possibly crippling much of U.S. industry. Beijing has the U.S. economy in a choke-hold, taking advantage of our dependence on Chinese rare earths and other critical goods where they have purposefully staked out a dominant position. Our country needs an all-out Manhattan Project-like effort to address those vulnerabilities, and JPMorganChase’s CEO has pledged to help. Other American businesses need to step up as well. Dimon committed in recent days to make direct equity and venture capital investments of up to $10 billion in four areas essential to America’s future. The capital infusions will help facilitate $1.5 trillion of investment over 10 years, mostly in the U.S. The bank had previously committed to finance some $1 trillion in sectors targeted by Dimon. The recent pledge ups the ante by 50 percent. The focus of that investment will be in four areas: strengthening our supply chain and beefing up advanced manufacturing of critical products; developing advanced defense technology, including secure communications; establishing energy independence, including battery storage and grid resilience; and pursuing “frontier” and strategic technologies like AI, cybersecurity and quantum computing. These are areas vital to U.S. expansion, and are also a focus of the Trump White House. As Dimon pledges to invest in these sectors, he is also advocating “to remove obstacles that stand in the way: excessive regulations, bureaucratic delay, partisan gridlock and an education system not aligned to the skills we need.” These ambitions are exactly in line with the America First agenda. Trump has called repeatedly for permitting reform and other policies that could speed up our country’s abilities to take advantage of fast-moving technologies, and also to counter threats from overseas. Dimon shares those objectives, describing the bank’s commitment as a matter of national security. He is correct. Dimon’s program includes investments in 27 sub-areas, including shipbuilding, munitions, nuclear energy and, of course, artificial intelligence. Reshoring is one theme, which of course has been a top priority for the president. Trump’s trade initiatives are not only meant to level the playing field and make U.S. companies more competitive, but are also intended to bring manufacturing back to the United States. Trump has railed for decades that our trading partners have taken advantage of the U.S., and that the loss of production and jobs to countries with lower wage rates and protectionist policies has not only hurt American workers but also created vulnerabilities. The fight over rare earths demonstrates that reality. China set out to dominate rare minerals used in key new technologies just as they moved to take over electric vehicle production and solar panels — by overproducing, driving prices down worldwide and putting competitors out of business. The U.S. has considerable deposits of rare minerals; we used to be one of the world’s largest producers. Now, the White House is trying to revive our production, to lessen Beijing’s grip on our ability to produce everything from airplanes to batteries. Critics of the president have dismissed his reshoring push as unrealistic, but since he took office, many companies have pledged to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. In part these firms are responding to the costs of maneuvering around tariffs put in place by the White House, but there are two other major drivers of the trend. One is energy. The U.S. has an abundance of cheap energy, and unlike Joe Biden, Trump is willing to unleash it. Experts say we need an “all of the above” energy strategy to accommodate the demand from new technologies, and especially from data centers; that is what the White House has enabled. While Biden foolishly attempted to ban fossil fuel development because of climate concerns, Trump has accelerated leasing and permitting of new oil-and-gas exploration, including in resource-rich areas like Alaska that Biden had put off limits. But it is not only fossil fuels that are moving forward. Dimon targets “next generation nuclear tech” — new, smaller and safer nuclear facilities are under construction that will play a key role in supporting data center growth. Power costs in the U.S. are about half those in rival manufacturing centers like Germany. In energy-intensive industries like steel producing, that is a huge win for the U.S. The other development which makes onshoring a real possibility today is AI and robotics. Over the past few decades, the high cost of labor in the U.S. compared to China or Mexico, for instance, made imports cheaper and domestic firms uncompetitive. Today, factories use fewer workers; though that means onshoring will provide fewer jobs, it means the U.S. can compete again. Can Trump’s program work? The recent announcement from Stellantis suggests that it could; the car maker announced it would invest $13 billion in its U.S. auto manufacturing operations over the next four years, adding more than 5,000 jobs to its domestic workforce. Stellantis estimated that tariffs will cost it some $1.7 billion this year; in 2024, more than 40 percent of their vehicles sold in the U.S. were imported, mostly from Canada and Mexico. Apple, Nvidia, Johnson & Johnson and many other companies have made similar moves to increase U.S. manufacturing. So yes, it can work, but the White House needs U.S. industry and financial leaders to get on board. Jamie Dimon’s commitment is welcome and needed. As he said, “If America isn’t very strong, there’s no global security.” So true. Liz Peek is a former partner of major bracket Wall Street firm Wertheim and Company.

Bari Weiss faces backlash from liberal journalists at CBS Added: Oct 17, 2025
Bari Weiss aims to create a fair, factual CBS culture. Good luck with that.
Site: The Hill
Bari Weiss has been appointed editor-in-chief at CBS News, causing outrage among liberal journalists due to her criticism of the New York Times’ woke culture and her association with billiona…
Bari Weiss has been named editor-in-chief at CBS News, and liberal journalists are in full meltdown. But why? She supports liberal positions on gay marriage — Weiss is gay and is married. She is pro-choice on abortion. She says she voted for Republican Mitt Romney but also for liberal Democrats Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. So again, why the left-wing outrage? Here’s a hint: She was an editor at the New York Times but was critical of what she (correctly) saw as the paper’s woke culture. She says she was attacked by colleagues for expressing ideas outside the liberal mainstream. She says colleagues called her a Nazi and a racist. Finally, in 2020, she had had enough and quit. Politically, she was more a disillusioned liberal than a doctrinaire conservative. One more thing: She’ll report directly to David Ellison, who runs the company that just bought CBS. Ellison’s father is Larry Ellison, one of the richest men (if not the richest man) in the world — and a friend of Donald Trump. Hence the fear, or paranoia, or whatever we want to call it. But here’s an idea: Give her a chance and see how she does before you go nuts. According to one news report CBS journalists are not putting out the welcome mat for Weiss. No surprise there. One report says some news people inside the building are “freaking out” and that “people are using words like depressing and doomsday.” That’s mild stuff compared to what one of Weiss’s former colleagues, columnist Jamelle Bouie, is saying. He took to social media to slam Weiss, calling her “an unethical and talentless hack.” Dan Rather, the longtime anchor of the “CBS Evening News” said her mere appointment marks “a dark day in the halls of CBS News.” Rather, my former colleague during my 28 years as a correspondent at CBS, knows something about dark days in the halls of CBS News. In September of 2004, just two months before a very close presidential election, he used unauthenticated — and many believe downright fraudulent — documents to report that George W. Bush had been a slacker during the Vietnam War, that he got preferential treatment to avoid going to Vietnam. CBS eventually retracted the story. Rather’s reputation was seriously tarnished, and his producer was fired. The scandal came to be known as "Rathergate." In her letter to CBS News journalists, Weiss outlined principles for her new colleagues. “Journalism that is fair, fearless, and factual ... journalism that holds both American political parties to equal scrutiny ... journalism that embraces a wide spectrum of views and voices so that the audience can contend with the best arguments on all sides of the debate.” And this is controversial? The editors at National Review got it right when they wrote, “Weiss has a tough job ahead of her. She is entering a vipers’ nest filled with employees who will be all too eager to dish dirt about her to their friends at other journalism outlets. But the upside of reforming a legacy news organization that has long been a byword for bias and self-regard would be huge, and it potentially have ripple effects across the industry. We wish her every success.” So do I — because I have first-hand knowledge of the “vipers’ nest” at CBS. I know how illiberal those liberal journalists can be. In 1996, while working at CBS News, I was called a traitor for writing an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal about liberal bias in the mainstream media. Here’s what I said: “There are lots of reasons fewer people are watching network news, and one of them, I'm more convinced than ever, is that our viewers simply don't trust us. And for good reason. The old argument that the networks and other ‘media elites’ have a liberal bias is so blatantly true that it's hardly worth discussing anymore. No, we don't sit around in dark corners and plan strategies on how we're going to slant the news. We don't have to. It comes naturally to most reporters.” Dan Rather was furious. In an interview with the New York Post, when my name came up, he said, "I will put up billboard space on 42nd Street. I will wear a sandwich board. I will do whatever is necessary to say I am not going to be cowed by anybody’s special political agenda, inside, outside, upside, downside.” Never mind that I wasn’t a conservative at the time. Like Bari Weiss, I was a disillusioned liberal. I wrote the op-ed because I cared about unbiased journalism — not because I was some kind of political activist. Let me end with the observations of two thoughtful journalists that might put the controversy over Bari Weiss into perspective. The (late) Eric Sevareid, the wise analyst for many years at CBS, once said that “We are simply, I’m afraid, disliked by far too many — perceived by them as not only smug but arrogant and as critics of everybody but ourselves.” The other observation is from Steven Brill, the lawyer-journalist, who said, “When it comes to arrogance, power, and lack of accountability, journalists are probably the only people on the planet who make lawyers look good.” So good luck, Bari Weiss — you’re going to need it.
