#Mown grass smell sends SOS for help in resisting insect attacksthe smell of cut grass in recent years has been identified as the plantâ##s way of signalling distress

because they send an SOS-type signal that results in attraction of parasitic wasps. â#Kolomiets tested the phenomena both in the lab

The calcium surge acts as an alarm signal that triggers coping mechanisms to help the plant rebalance its water budget.

Plants with defective versions of the calcium channel don't send an alarm signal under water stress like normal plants do.

New research from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University shows that not only can grains of dust form in gigantic supernova explosions they can also survive the subsequent shockwaves they are exposed to.

which are massive stars that die in a gigantic explosion. But how do the elements grow into'larger clumps'like cosmic dust grains?

even though dust grains composed of heavy elements would form in supernovae the supernova explosion is so violent that the grains of dust may not survive.

and NASA among others followed the explosion right from the start and the following 2â years and analysed the light from the very bright supernova.

Christa Gall who led the project explains that the first step in dust formation is a mini-explosion in

Low rumble alarm call in response to the sound of human voicesafrican elephants make a specific alarm call in response to the danger of humans according to a new study of wild elephants in Kenya.

Whilst the'bee'and'human'rumbling alarm calls might sound similar to our ears there are important differences at low (infrasonic) frequencies that elephants can hear

but humans can't.'Elephants appear to be able to manipulate their vocal tract (mouth tongue trunk and so on) to shape the sounds of their rumbles to make different alarm calls'said Dr Lucy King of Save the Elephants

'We concede the possibility that these alarm calls are simply a by-product of elephants running away that is just an emotional response to the threat that other elephants pick up on'Lucy tells me.'

'On the other hand we think it is also possible that the rumble alarms are akin to words in human language

and that elephants voluntarily and purposefully make those alarm calls to warn others about specific threats.

Our research results here show that African elephant alarm calls can differentiate between two types of threat

'Elephant'human'alarm call rumblesignificantly the reaction to the human alarm call included none of the head-shaking behaviour displayed by elephants hearing the bee alarm.

''and the''human alarm rumble''is the same as a vowel-change in human language
