Beneath the surface of forests, grasslands and farms across the world, vast fungal webs form underground trading systems to ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology and the University of Kiel have provided experimental evidence ...

Mycelium are incredibly tiny threads of fungal organisms that wrap around or bore into tree roots, composing what's called a mycorrhizal network that connects individual plants together. These dense ...

Learn how plants communicate through chemical signals, and why losing biodiversity can disrupt these hidden communication ...

Plants do not stay silent. New research shows how plant diversity changes smell based communication across ecosystems.

New research publishing in the journal Nature on February 26, 2025 uses advanced robotics to track the hyper-efficient supply chains formed between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as they trade carbon ...

A new study has used a modelling approach to show that it is unlikely that plants would evolve to warn other plants of impending attack. Instead of using their communication networks to transmit ...
