When did these insects produce these sounds?
The insects were singing in ultrasound 55 million years before bats evolved.
What happened
Scientists have reconstructed the sounds of Jurassic insects, revealing a 165-million-year-old forest soundscape. The Global Times first reported that 165-million-year-old katydids provided the first evidence of ancient ultrasonic communication.
Later reporting from Phys.org, Moneycontrol.com, Tech Times, IFLScience and Sci.News added that AI helped recreate these sounds. The Global Times, Phys.org, Moneycontrol.com, and IFLScience all note that the reconstructed sounds evoke an ancient Jurassic forest.
Tech Times adds that these insects were singing in ultrasound 55 million years before bats evolved. The current state of reporting is that scientists have successfully reconstructed the sounds of Jurassic insects, providing a unique glimpse into the soundscape of the Jurassic period.
