recognized when individual organisms including plants, in the face of fiercely competitive or …

The response of plants to the stress caused by herbivores involves several different defence
mechanisms. These responses begin at the plant cell plasma membrane, where insect …

Biological responses to climate change have been widely documented across taxa and
regions, but it remains unclear whether species are maintaining a good match between …

Plant germination and growth can be influenced by sound, but the ecological significance of
these responses is unclear. We asked whether acoustic energy generated by the feeding of …

Because water is essential to life, organisms have evolved a wide range of strategies to
cope with water limitations, including actively searching for their preferred moisture levels to …

Being sessile, plants continuously deal with their dynamic and complex surroundings,
identifying important cues and reacting with appropriate responses. Consequently, the …

In addition to positive effects on plant growth and resilience, sound alerts plants of potential
danger and aids in defense. Sound guides plants towards essential resources, like water …

Although plants are essentially sessile in nature, these organisms are very much in tune with
their environment and are capable of a variety of movements. This may come as a surprise …

This article aims to bridge phenomenology and the study of plant intelligence with the view
to enriching both disciplines. Besides considering the world from the perspective of sessile …

It is increasingly recognized that plants are highly sensitive organisms that perceive, assess,
