Gilead’s Next Generation Comes of Age in The Testaments

The Testaments, a coming‑of‑age extension of The Handmaid’s Tale, shifts the focus to the next generation at Aunt Lydia’s academy, following Agnes MacKenzie and Daisy as they navigate power, loyalty, and resistance in a brighter yet still dangerous Gilead. With Ann Dowd returning as Lydia and a fresh young cast led by Chase Infiniti, Rowan Blanchard, and Lucy Halliday, the 10-episode series debuts April 8 on Hulu (three episodes at launch, then one per week).

The Deceptive South African Flower That Attracts Pollinators with Fake Flies

The Gorteria diffusa, a South African daisy, produces fake lady flies on its petals to attract male flies for pollination. The petals provide an evolutionary advantage by attracting more male flies to pollinate it. The daisy's petals deceive male flies by bringing together existing genes to make a complicated spot on the petals. The group of plants that includes the sexually deceiving daisy is quite young in evolutionary terms, dating back only 1.5 to 2 million years compared to most living species.

The Deceptive Daisy's Ingenious Trick to Attract Pollinators.

The Deceptive Daisy's Ingenious Trick to Attract Pollinators.

Researchers have identified three sets of genes involved in building the fake fly on the daisy's petals. The "iron moving" genes add iron to the petal's normally reddish-purple pigments, changing the color to a more fly-like blue-green. The root hair genes make hairs expand on the petal to give texture. And the third set of genes make the fake flies appear in apparently random positions on the petals. The daisy's petals give it an evolutionary advantage, by attracting more male flies to pollinate it.
