Episode 1

Sreath tarraingeach de chòig phàirtean mu fhiadh-bheatha agus saidheans a tha a’ foillseachadh nan dòighean iongantach anns a bheil beathaichean a’ conaltradh ri chèile agus a’ sònrachadh na tha luchd-saidheans air faighinn a-mach is iad a’ dèanamh rannsachadh aig an ìre as àirde san raon seo. Tha na `h-eòlaichean seo a’ sealltainn an teicneòlais air cùlaibh an rannsachaidh – bho choimpiutairean coltachaidh gu prògraman AI gu innealan clàraidh spaideil leithid lorgairean ialtagan.

Tha an sreath a’ foillseachadh lèirsinn saidheansail, nam measg mar a tha cinn-fhiona an rìgh a’ cleachdadh gairmean sònraichte airson nan leanabain aca a lorg agus mar a tha rannsaichean a’ faighinn ciall bho na comhartan eadar-dhealaichte aig coin.

Series revealing the remarkable ways animals communicate, and highlighting the extraordinary discoveries of scientists working at the cutting edge of this field. Experts demonstrate the technology behind their findings - from computer simulations and AI programs to sophisticated recording devices such as bat detectors.

We reveal groundbreaking scientific insights, including how king penguins use unique calls to locate their young, and how researchers are beginning to decode the meanings behind different dog barks. Plus the secrets of the waggle dance that bees use to share information, and how butterflies 'talk' using ultraviolet patterns on their wings.

It's an invitation to eavesdrop on the secret conversations happening all around us - the hidden languages of the natural world.
