The biological world is awash in #chemical signals.

Some molecular messages find their targets; most linger unread in the environment.

But sometimes, other #species — chemical eavesdroppers, bystanders or visitors — can pick up and interpret the signals in their own way.

If the message is powerful enough, the impact can ripple out across an #ecosystem.
