Plants, Bugs, and Microbes: Do You Hear What I Hear?

Plants, insects and the soil community have a sophisticated language. They communicate with each other by releasing chemicals which send messages to their own species or other surrounding species in the system. This communication can often be beneficial to plants in need of resources or protection. Our speakers will each discuss and dissect the communication pathways used in the soil and air.
