If houseplants could talk: communication and the natural world
It’s our listener mail round up, and this week it’s all about communication in the natural world, like: how do migratory animals teach their young how to migrate and where to go? Do sharks smell underwater? And, are plants talking to each other?
Plus, a mini-story about a lost baby squirrel and a Bluetooth speaker.
Take a listen!
- How do young animals know how to migrate?
- Can plants talk to each other?
- What makes an animal a pest?
- How do shark noses work underwater?
Featuring: Patrik Byholm, Richard Karban, Bethany Brookshire, and Stephen Kajiura.
