Plants tell caterpillars when it's safe to forage
The world is filled with cues that could influence the daily feeding patterns of an organism. Many plants, for example, respond to foraging damage by releasing specialized chemical signals-volatile organic compounds that evaporate in the air-that attract the forager's natural enemies. view more (2006-05-16)

Chimpanzees Can Transmit Cultural Behavior to Multiple "Generations"
or the first time, researchers have shown chimpanzees exhibit generational learning behavior similar to that in humans.
