В Гавайях утверждают, что они спасли один из самых редких видов птиц благодаря уничтожению насекомых. Ученые ввели вредную популяцию комаров, которые угрожали Гавайскому серебристому медоносу, бактерию Вольбахия, которая способствует уменьшению численности комаров.

Этот медонос, также известный как palila, стал подвержен угрозе из-за вторжения комаров, переносящих инфекционное заболевание птичьей малярии. Но благодаря инновационной методе ученых Гавайский серебристый медонос теперь не находится под угрозой вымирания.

Эта новость является важным шагом в сохранении редких видов птиц на Гавайях, которые с каждым годом становятся все более уязвимыми из-за климатических изменений и вторжения инфекций. Ученые продолжают наблюдать за популяцией Гавайского серебристого медоноса и надеются, что эта успешная инициатива будет использована и для других уязвимых видов птиц.
