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!

  1. How do young animals know how to migrate?
  2. Can plants talk to each other?
  3. What makes an animal a pest?
  4. How do shark noses work underwater?

Featuring: Patrik Byholm, Richard Karban, Bethany Brookshire, and Stephen Kajiura.
