The Bmc Ecology And Evolution Image Competition 2022 Reveals Amazing Photos

The striking scene captured by Spanish photographer Roberto García-Roa, from the University of Valencia, was the fruiting spores of a parasitic fungus bursting from the body of a fly in the Tambopata National Reserve, Peru. The image “depicts a conquest shaped by thousands of years of evolution,” García-Roa said in a press release. “Spores of the so-called ‘zombie’ fungus have penetrated the fly’s exoskeleton and brain and forced it to migrate to a location more favorable for the fungus to grow,” he said. He added that the fruiting bodies of the fungus would later be ejected to infect more victims. Christy Anna Hipsley, a senior editorial board member at the magazine, and one of the competition’s judges, likened the image to something seen in “science fiction”. “It depicts both life and death at the same time as the death of the fly gives life to the fungus,” he said. Winners and runners-up were also selected in four categories: relationships in nature, research in action, biodiversity under threat and living close. Among the winning images was American photographer Brandon André Güell’s image of tree frog embryos sliding into their eggs on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, during an explosive breeding event after a storm. The contest was created to give ecologists and evolutionary biologists a chance to creatively celebrate their research to highlight the need to protect nature, organizers said.
