28、moths and many other insects that fly at night evolved to tilt（倾斜）their backs to wherever is brightest.For hundreds of millions of years,this was the sky rather than the ground.The trick told insects which way was up and ensured they flew level.But then came artificial lighting.Moths found themselve

29、s tilting their backs to street lamps.This caused them to circle around the lamps endlessly,the insects trapped by their evolution.Fabian and his colleagues filmed insect flight paths around lights in the lab.The videos reveal that time and again,moths and dragonflies turned their backs to artificia

31、n the dramatic decline in insect populations.Moths and other insects that become trapped around lamps become easily caught by bats.The artificial lighting can also fool them into thinking it is daytime,causing them to bed down and skip a nights feeding.There are,Fabian believes,helpful lessons from

37、ple.Back in the mid 1990s,I read a newspaper article written by a doctor who guessed that we would eventually have to turn to xenotransplantation（异种器官移植）as a possible solution to the lack of human organ donors.It left my mind filled with questions.What are the consequences?Do we really have the righ
