CaitSith Posted July 8, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yes...they communicate with their echolocation is a series of clicks, buzzes, and chirps... Yes but do they hold conversations? Perhaps discuss where to go get something to eat, argue or compliment one another? Put it on my need to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacifist persiangirl Posted July 8, 2006 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) i think all the animals have their own language and can communicate as well as we can the difference is that they have their own method of talking and we can't understand it this's what i feel Edited July 8, 2006 by pacifist persiangirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkland Posted July 8, 2006 #9 Share Posted July 8, 2006 PSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH liek LAWL every thing has a language dosent matter how smart or dumb u are. what is the fact that dolphins dont have opposable thumbs the only thing thats keeping them from takeing over the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfish Posted July 8, 2006 #10 Share Posted July 8, 2006 PSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH liek LAWL every thing has a language dosent matter how smart or dumb u are Jellyfish, and colonial algae don't...They Do react to stimuli form other things though...

Grandpa Greenman Posted July 9, 2006 #13 Share Posted July 9, 2006 DID you just read what I posted! Along with all the other simple animals... Are we so sure? Maybe they are communicating on a level we don't see or understand. It has been shown trees communicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowbro Posted July 9, 2006 #16 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Trees don't communicate Yes they do, not by sounds, but by chemical signals. Released when leaves are subject to herbivory. Plants can even communicate with parasitic wasps to lay their eggs in caterpillars when they are eating their leaves. They can be detected in the air and underground in networks. If you have a look on google scholar, theres heaps of research journals on them. Had to do an assessment on plant communication and it is quite interesting and proven.

zandore Posted July 10, 2006 #18 Share Posted July 10, 2006 It has been shown trees communicate. Only in the Wizard of Oz and Lord of the Rings..... It has been shown trees communicate. Trees don't communicate "I talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me..." sings one of the characters in the musical Paint Your Wagon. Maybe he's just not speaking the right language. Far from being inert lumps, plants can and do communicate--both with other plants, and, interestingly, with insects. Of course, we're not talking Shakespearean sonnets or even political speeches here. Plant communication is all based on chemicals. The idea that plants communicate chemically with one another has been around for a couple of decades, but it's only been in the last few years that solid scientific evidence has been accumulated to support the notion.

A+Certified Posted July 10, 2006 #19 Share Posted July 10, 2006 i thik its possible they can primitavly communicate (tree's) by light source, or something, lol. we know that plants can adapt (i.e.-a flower bending toword a window for light), so i wouldnt doubt that they can very primatavly communicate.

Theyt just flood one side of the stem with gibberillins to cause the bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A+Certified Posted July 10, 2006 #21 Share Posted July 10, 2006 frogfish, i think you are one of the only people who truely know what their talking about on here, lol. i try, but sometimes i dont, and ill admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phototrophism is really simple... Gibberillins are the growth hormone for plants...If one side of a plant is getting more light than the other, then the plant thinks "well, I need to grow taller to get more light", so that ONE side away from the light if flooded by gibberillins, which cause the plant to bend towards the light.

Is that the same process which takes place when a plant seed begins to germinate to establish roots and a stem (influenced by gravity); or is that given a different name? I was just wondering, do dolphins have their own language? They are extremly smart, I think as smart as humans And doesn't a language need intelligence Yes, they do. I've got no idea how complex it is, though. You might like this; Click. Edited July 10, 2006 by Raptor X7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atheist God Posted July 11, 2006 #25 Share Posted July 11, 2006 "I was just wondering, do dolphins have their own language? They are extremly smart, I think as smart as humans And doesn't a language need intelligence" If Dolphins were as smart as humans they would'nt end up up on rye bread with mayonaise... It has been shown that Dolphins can only understand the basics of mathematics and they can communicate with one another. In regards though to if they are as smart as us hardly. Their brains aren't nearly as developed as our are. Though they may be quite intellegent they do not grasp the concept of civilization and technology. It is possible however that in the future they may evolve into a more intellegent form of life but by then I doubt humans will even exist on Earth.
