So it looks like the causes are:

  • Increasing natural disasters such as wildfires, tornadoes and hurricanes
  • Continual development in forested areas
  • Aging forests

This means at minimum we would have to:

  • Mitigate climate change
  • Create more national/protected forest areas
  • Manage those forests effectively to ensure efficient carbon absorption (replacing older trees with younger trees when applicable).

That's a pretty tall order.

Bizarre ‘mind-controlling’ parasitic worm lacks genes found in every known animal: Our world is full of bizarre and intriguing creatures. One of the strangest, though, is the hairworm, a parasitic worm known as a “mind control worm” in some circles. These parasitic worms are found all over the world, and they look similar to thin strands of spaghetti, usually measuring a couple of inches long. However, their bodies and genes hint at the parasitic lifestyle that they live.
