It is an interesting article, and I always enjoy Cecil's wisdom but it is
also frustrating. Why are these secondary sources always so coy about the
references? This one is pretty extreme. It seems that four researchers at
North Carolina did some published research in this area. How can you know
that and not have the reference available? Why do secondary sources play cat
and mouse with the references?

Hi Rick,
For THE STRAIGHT DOPE's take on this question (regarding plants), please
see:

Not quite a journal publication, but an interesting read, nonetheless.
Best,
Mike
