Machine Learning Helps Scientists Recreate Insect Sounds from Jurassic Era

Researchers have used machine learning to reconstruct the sounds of ancient insects based on fossil evidence. By studying wing structures and conducting biomechanical experiments on living species, they built digital simulations of the Middle Jurassic period's acoustic environment. The findings reveal what is believed to be the earliest recorded use of ultrasonic communication among insects. Scientists suggest this high-frequency signaling likely helped insects avoid detection by nocturnal predators.
