(Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW)) If you're small, smells are a good way to stand out. A team of researchers led by the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) has demonstrated for the first time that two different types of micro-organisms -- bacteria and fungi -- use fragrances, known as terpenes, to hold conversations. And that's not all. 'We actually believe that terpenes are the most popular chemical medium on our planet to communicate through.'
