Instincts and intercommunication

Biodiversity is not only genetic, it is also behavioral. The actions of plants and animals mold and change their environments. Much of the research being done at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Barro Colorado is about unraveling the reasons for, and the effects of, the behaviors of its inhabitants.

These are amazing, delightful, and universally meaningful stories. Biodiversity is all about communication.
