"You might go for a walk in the forest to disconnect from work and calm your
nerves after a busy week. The chirping and calls of birds in the canopy above
might be exactly what allows you to relax.
But what sounds soothing to humans may signal danger to other animals – and
trigger fear across the forest.
In our research, published today in
Current Biology, we show that when some
animals spot a predator they issue a warning cry that is picked up by others
and spread through the rainforest canopy. For a time, different species are
linked into a shared information network, and parts of the forest briefly fall
silent."
