There's an interesting article in this week's New Scientist (which dropped through my letterbox this morning) about microorganisms such as bacteria acting in unison and communicating with eachother to give complex behaviours such as only doing something when in a large group, or even committing mass suicide!
I'm not sure if the feature articles show up in the online version, but it's worth a look. I thought of you when reading it :)
