A wave of Kenyan elephant deaths has been blamed on pesticides, but experts tell the BBC they are doubtful.

New research shows how some plants recruit wasps and soil bacteria to keep their leaves safe from harm.

Honeybee queens exposed to pesticides can shift some of the contamination into their eggs, revealing a previously unknown survival strategy. The process may protect the queen while putting developing offspring, and potentially the entire colony, at risk.
The study pointed to possible service-related exposures as potential ALS links but did not identify them.
