Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

When you go to bed at night, are you already thinking about what you'll have for breakfast in the morning?

If you are, that's one more thing you have in common with chimps.

Because a new study shows that chimps choose a campsite based on the next morning's menu.

The work is in the

proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The jungle may seem like a place where you can

after, and quick to disappear. A fig tree, for example, can be stripped bare in a single

visit by birds, squirrels, or any number of

fruit-loving species. So how does a chimp secure a seat at the highly desirable fig cafe? To find

out, researchers tracked five wild chimps at a national park in the Ivory Coast, and they found

that the apes set up their sleeping nests along the path to breakfast, and set out before

dawn.

But they only took these steps when figs were likely on offer.

The findings suggest that chimps can really plan ahead when it comes to their morning meal,
