Communication betweeen non-human living organisms

Non- human living organism do communicate too, they communicate through the transmission of signals via a sender and a receiver. Cell signaling,cellular communication and chemical communication are ways of communicating between primitive organisms such as bacteria, fungi and plants. All these communication process require a great variety of distinct coordination. Plants for instance communicate through the root zone, they communicate in parallel to the rhizobia bacteria, fungi and insects in the soil. This form of communication is possible due to the "decentralized" nervous system of the plants. In situations whereby the plants are in danger, they communicate via volatiles, in which the communicate with the parasites to attack the neighbouring plants with are threatening them.
Fungi for instance, communicate by sending out symbiotic interactions. They communicate with nonfungal organisms through this way. So far five different primary signals have been verified, where each has its own specific meaning, filamentation, mating,growth and pathogenicity.
