Event Insights : Gain more knowledge on Chemical Ecology Throughout the Tree of Life: From Theory to Practice - for publication and research. Anthropogenic changes not only affect ecosystems at large, but also interactions within and between species. Almost all species interact with their environment through chemical signals and cues, and chemical communication is the most abundant form of communication in life. Chemical communications take place between individuals of the same species and between different species at different trophic levels, to make decisions on whether to hide or forage, to find a sexual partner, to search for a resource and to avoid a competitor or natural enemy. Chemical communications are therefore crucial in the web of life.
