Female moths avoid laying eggs on stressed plants that emit ultrasonic sounds. Instead, they choose silent, healthy plants.

"We revealed the first evidence." Researchers stunned after making first-of-its-kind 'acoustic' discovery: 'An entire world waiting to be discovered' first appeared on The Cool Down.

When a plant is stressed, it doesn’t keep quiet about it. You won’t hear the plant’s cry because it’s in the ultrasonic range — too high-pitched for human ears — but, for decades, scientists have been ...

Research aimed at developing ultrasonic microphones with insect-like sensitivity is to continue in the rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador. Research aimed at developing ultrasonic microphones with ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University discovered for the first time that animals respond to sounds made by plants. The study, published in the journal eLife, found that female moths avoid laying eggs on ...

The mating calls of the katydid, a large insect, are ultrasonic, beyond the audible limit of human hearing. What if we could hear them? That’s the focus behind a collaboration between the abstract ...

Plants and insects may communicate through sound, say Tel Aviv researchers, marking a breakthrough in understanding nature’s acoustic signals. The study, published in the journal eLife, suggests that ...

Ultrasonic bushcrickets could be using a similar method to communicate as that used by whales, according to newly published research. Katydid species that have extreme ultrasonic frequencies face a ...
