All you network theorists can get busy with your botanical side now that McMaster University biologist Susan Dudley has discovered a plant that works cooperatively with other plants related to it:

The sea rocket, researchers report, can distinguish between plants that are related to it and those that are not. And not only does this plant recognize its kin, but it also gives them preferential treatment.

If the sea rocket detects unrelated plants growing in the ground with it, the plant aggressively sprouts nutrient-grabbing roots. But if it detects family, it politely restrains itself.

Plus, it was observed squeezing the toothpaste from the bottom of the tube.
