Interspecies Communication - possible or probable?

Wood said, “Consciousness is a networked awareness, a with-knowing, a knowing that even as it is separated into different modalities, draws on those others. Something similar could be said about the relation between individual awareness and the connection this establishes, or sustains with others.” And “our being able to focus on one particular domain or object is quite compatible with that capacity being in fact dependent on the same being having many other capacities, and with there ultimately being an integrative basis for this connectedness in our embodied existence.”

Was he saying that living beings are capable of individual consciousness plus the capacity to network with others in a consciously aware manner?

Is Woods saying he believes interspecies communication is possible and even probable?

David Wood, "What is Ecophenomenology?"

Wood says, “Nature is too important to be left to the natural sciences. There are considerations cutting across the different sciences that can be productively contemplated together.” He believes, and I agree with him, that all things exist by containing their existence or what he refers to as integrity. Wood recognizes that while every thing requires integrity to exist, it does not exist in a vacuum. Therefore, while all things must maintain their unique integrity in order to exist, they must do so while simultaneously spooning with their immediate neighbors, and their neighbors' neighbors, ad infinitum. Woods wants us to acknowledge the reality of how existence manifests on this planet in both time and space. And how each consideration, individually and integratedly raises ecological and economic issues, and according to Wood,"is best approached through a certain kind of phenomenology.”

He views ecology, like other sciences, as being limited, restricted, and overly invested in the interconnectedness of life, or where the imperative focus is on relating the parts to the whole – how relationality and interconnectedness can turn into an “overly rigid holism.” He sees ecophenomenology as a way to honor the complexity of natural phenomena, respecting the unique parts of a biosystem as well as the whole system. He voices his concern that our ordinary experience obscures the true nature of living things from our awareness. Wood claims, “there are categories and concepts importantly at work in any science that are not its distinctive property, but also that sciences themselves operate as boundary-generating systems. If so individual sciences are not in the best position to talk about science as such. At least part of the role traditionally played by metaphysics is here played by ecophenomenology’s concern with the fabric of time and with the events that occur at boundaries - phenomena that are not the proper purview of any one science.” All this is not the subject matter of one science, but thinking through these liminological events is something that an ecophenomenology could protect and encourage.” I found these aspects of Wood's views valid and sound.
