Trees may warn each other of insect attack, UW study suggests
Seattle scientists led by David Rhoades of the University of Washington report that certain trees emit chemicals signaling nearby willows and alders to defend against tent caterpillar outbreaks. The study, presented at an American Chemical Society meeting, notes faster growth suppression when leaves from nearby infested trees are used, and slower caterpillar growth on exposed foliage.
