Stressed plants cry audibly
Researchers have for the first time recorded clicking sounds from stressed plants. The sounds are species-specific and audible to animals.
Ultrasonic sounds under stress
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have for the first time recorded sounds from plants that no human can hear. “We found that plants typically emit sounds when they are under stress,” said Professor Lilach Hadany. The study was published in Cell.
Plants transmit information
Stressed plants emitted dozens of sounds per hour. “Apparently, an idyllic flower field can be quite a noisy place,” said Hadany. Bats, rodents and insects can presumably hear the sounds. More on the topic of wildlife and studies.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: The scientific evidence is presented in the overview Studies on the Effects of Recreational Hunting.
The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
