The global spread of the Argentine ant
Ants have colonized the entire planet, with the exception of the polar regions. Many species have been displaced by the networks of globalization, invading new territories at the expense of native species. This is the case of the Argentine ant.
—
The Argentine Ant forms supercolonies, where thousands on ant nests operate as one nest, in effect. They are dominating other ant species through social organization.

US state residents’ desire to move to a different state.
People can’t wait to leave Connecticut. Maybe because it’s hard to spell?
No one wants to leave Hawaii or Texas, but for very different reasons.
When I lived in Virginia I wanted to move very badly for 17 years. Now I live in New York, and I ain’t going anywhere.

Languages in Africa.
It is estimated that there are more than 2,000 different languages, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. After decolonization, the original languages have been gaining weight as most used languages.
Most people don’t know that Malagasy is a Polynesian language: Madagascar is the western-most point of Polynesian dispersal.
By they way, Madagascar is a continent: 90% of all plant and animal species are endemic. So it shouldn’t be lumped into Africa, at all.

How America Reached One Million Covid Deaths | Jeremy White, Amy Harmon, Danielle Ivory, Lauren Leatherby, Albert Sun and Sarah Almukhtar
The virus did not claim lives evenly, or randomly. The New York Times analyzed 25 months of data on deaths during the pandemic and found that some demographic groups, occupations and communities were far more vulnerable than others. A significant proportion of the nation’s oldest residents died, making up about three-quarters of the total deaths. And among younger adults across the nation, Black and Hispanic people died at much higher rates than white people.
Understanding the toll — who makes up the one million and how the country failed them — is essential as the pandemic continues. More than 300 people are still dying of Covid every day.
“We are a country with the best doctors in the world, we got a vaccine in an astoundingly short period of time, and yet we’ve had so many deaths,” said Mary T. Bassett, the health commissioner for New York State.
“It really should be a moment for us all to reflect on what sort of society we want to have,” she added.
