Autotrophs are organisms that feed themselves using inorganic substances โ plants use light, while certain microbes use methane. They were the first single-celled life-forms on Earth, thriving near deep-sea hydrothermal vents or harnessing sunlight for energy. Heterotrophs such as humans and fungi appeared later and rely on autotrophs for food. Stromatolites built by cyanobacteria are a classic example.

The finding suggests that widespread pesticide use may inadvertently improve tick survival in cold climates. The study raises new questions about the long-term effectiveness of chemical tick control.
