Ants play a crucial role in moving seeds in dry forest farms. In Brazil's Caatinga, rainfed croplands host more large ants that provide higher quality seed dispersal. Fragmentation and low water cut seed removal and cleaning, while mixed land uses boost total ant-seed interactions.

Strict bosses can lead to employees doing less at work. In Chinese small and medium-sized firms, authoritarian leaders drive higher burnout and more quiet quitting. Forcing staff to show up sick or exhausted further boosts this burnout and deepens their disengagement.

Humans trained to use global impressions of faces nearly double their accuracy at spotting AI-generated deepfakes. This approach beats training on local visual artifacts, which has shown little benefit. Gains persist in follow-up tests and scale in an online replication.

Camera-trap data from northern Ukraine show higher mammal diversity and occupancy in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone and nearby protected areas than in less protected landscapes. The results suggest that reduced human activity can substantially improve habitat suitability for large mammals.

Can the USB-C Saramonic LAVMICROU3-OA be used with something else than the Osmo Action camera?

I bought the Saramonic LAVMICROU3-OA lavalier microphone because it has a USB-C connection and that’s the connection i want to use on my laptop. This microphone is marketed as a microphone for the Osmo Action camera, but I thought it would be weird for a mike to be restricted to one camera only, so i bought it anyway. Just received it and it’s not working, it’s not recognized at all by Windows 11.

So was I wrong? Is this microphone only for use with the Osmo Action?

Looking for a subreddit for high-quality educational YouTube creators to discuss scripting, research and production.

Hi, I'm looking for a subreddit for people who make educational YouTube videos. Not really interested in YouTube growth, the algorithm, or self-promo. I'm more interested in the creative side of things: researching topics, writing scripts, explaining complicated ideas, fact-checking...
