A grain of wild wheat has everything required for plant
propagation - even tools for drilling into the soil. It uses its two awns for
this: in the dry daytime air, these bristles bend outwards. At night, dampened
by the dew, they straighten....

Radios need them and so do insects, and a seal would starve if
it could not count on them. What they need are antennae, feelers or muzzle
hairs, all of them systems that pick up signals from the environment and pass
them on to somewhere –...
