‘Feature Detection’ versus ‘Predictive Coding’ Models of Plant Behavior [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
In this article we consider the possibility that plants exhibit anticipatory behavior, a mark of intelligence. If plants are able to anticipate and respond accordingly to varying states of their surroundings, as opposed to merely responding online to ...

Exploring the complex information processes underlying plant behavior [PDF]

Plant Signaling & Behavior
Newly discovered plant behaviors, linked to historical observations, contemporary technologies, and emerging knowledge of signaling mechanisms, argue that plants utilize complex information processing systems.

Cracking the code: a comparative approach to plant communication

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2021
The linguistic behavior of humans is usually considered the point of reference for studying the origin and evolution of language. As commonly defined, language is a form of communication between human beings; many have argued that it is unique to humans ...

Kinematic Evidence of Root-to-Shoot Signaling for the Coding of Support Thickness in Pea Plants

Biology, 2022
Plants such as climbers characterized by stems or tendrils need to find a potential support (e.g., pole, stick, other plants or trees) to reach greater light exposure. Since the time when Darwin carried out research on climbing plants, several studies on

Can Plants Move Like Animals? A Three-Dimensional Stereovision Analysis of Movement in Plants

Animals, 2021
In this article we adapt a methodology customarily used to investigate movement in animals to study the movement of plants. The targeted movement is circumnutation, a helical organ movement widespread among plants.

Decision-Making Underlying Support-Searching in Pea Plants

Plants, 2023
Finding a suitable support is a key process in the life history of climbing plants. Those that find a suitable support have greater performance and fitness than those that remain prostrate.

Volatile Signals From Guava Plants Prime Defense Signaling and Increase Jasmonate-Dependent Herbivore Resistance in Neighboring Citrus Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Intercropping can reduce agricultural pest incidence and represents an important sustainable alternative to conventional pest control methods. Citrus intercropped with guava (Psidium guajava L.) has a lower incidence of Asian citrus psyllid (ACP ...

Altering Neighborhood Relatedness and Species Composition Affects Interior Douglas-Fir Size and Morphological Traits With Context-Dependent Responses

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Trees often exist in a complex ecological system with many biological interactions. Here we examine kin interactions of Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (interior Douglas-fir) both in the context of pure kin stands, in accordance with established plant ...

Arctic Migratory Raptor Selects Nesting Area During the Previous Breeding Season

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Migratory species have a limited time for habitat selection upon arrival at the breeding grounds. This is especially evident in arctic migrants, which are restricted by a narrow window of opportunity when environmental conditions are favorable for ...
