Det är sedan tidigare klarlagt att beröring kan utlösa stressreaktioner hos växter. Men de molekylära förklaringsmodellerna har hittills varit spartanska. Men nu har forskare hittat nya genetiska nycklar till varför växter reagerar så kraftfullt på mekanisk stimulering. När du vattnar dina trädgårdsväxter reagerar de direkt på en biokemisk nivå. Och när du låter din knivsegg kapa en rabarberstång

Blåmesar är inte lika läraktiga som talgoxar. Men de nyfikna mesarna presterar ändå bättre än många andra fågelarter i kognitiva tester. Det visar en ny impulsstudie från Lunds universitet. Självkontroll är svårt för djur och brukar därför användas som jämförande mått när man vill undersöka allmän kognitiv förmåga hos olika arter.
