Most of our understanding of animal behavior comes from observation in their natural habitat. It would seem nearly impossible to observe this behavior for undersoil.
- nend 5y ago"Almost impossible" seems a bit hyperbolic considering this is an article about a scientist who just made observations about underground behavior.
- stadium 5y agoI'd take an opposite view that as humans, we don't know what we don't know, and the scope of our unknowing is much greater than we lend ourselves to believe. Another great example studies of mycelium networks exchanging nutrients with forest tree root networks. The exchange of nutrients has much in common with the firing of neutrons in the animal brain. This was discovered by "feeding" trees radioactive CO2 gas and observing how it moves to other trees. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/mec.15520 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/mec.15520
