xen User ID: 1344279 Australia 02/07/2012 07:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | don't they, archaboilus musicus is a fitting name [link to zhengshaoqun.blogspot.com.au] The research, published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, implies that the acoustic environment was already quite busy 165 million years ago with many animals (such as amphibians and other arthropods) singing at the same time, possibly chorusing, within the additional background noise produced by waterfalls, streams and wind. Dr Montealegre-Z and Professor Robert examined the anatomical construction of the fossil's song apparatus, and compared it to 59 living bushcricket species. They concluded that this animal must have produced musical songs, broadcasting pure, single frequencies. Amazingly, based on the detailed morphology of Archaboilus' wings, Dr Fernando Montealegre-Z could reconstruct the songs emitted by these ancient insects. Following biomechanical principles that he discovered some years ago, Dr Montealegre-Z established that A. musicus sang a tone pitched at 6.4kHz and that every bout of singing lasted 16 milliseconds. This turned out to be enough information to acoustically reconstruct the song itself, possibly the most ancient known musical song documented to date. This paleobioacoustical analysis also provides a unique insight into the ecology of an extinct insect. Dr Montealegre-Z said: "Using a low-pitched song, A. musicus was acoustically adapted to long-distance communication in a lightly cluttered environment, such as a Jurassic forest. Today, all species of katydids that use musical calls are nocturnal so musical calls in the Jurassic were also most likely an adaptation to nocturnal life. "This Jurassic bushcricket thus sheds light on the potential auditory capacity of other animals, and helps us learn a little more about the ambiance of a world long gone. It also suggests the evolutionary mechanisms that drove modern bushcrickets to develop ultrasonic signals for sexual pairing and for avoiding an increasingly relevant echolocating predator, but that only happened 100 million years later, possibly with the appearance of bats." |

Seems they are strong on the winds and currents these days. Been spending alot of time outside listening lately.....Nature has her own voices :peekthru: |

Love the sound of insects. Hot summer days filled with the sound of cicadas and the nights filled with the crickets and tree frogs(not insects, but still sound good). The tree frogs can be almost deafening at times. I don't mind though. Last year we had a abundance of firefly's. Which we haven't had for a few years. :kitten on fence: |

I am outside as much as possible. Kinda cold this time of year though. I did sit on the deck the last couple of days, soaking up the sun and watching the birds. Only in the forties. Kinda windy. Who am I kidding, its always windy by me. Having a day without wind is a blessing at times. lol I consider nature the most wonderful gift of all. I am thankful everyday I get to witness its beauty. :kitten on fence: |

I don't mind though. Quoting: Blue Skies Last year we had a abundance of firefly's. Which we haven't had for a few years. have some odd insects in the backyard at the moment, they sound musical and healing. like a mix between crickets and cicadas but higher pitched and not as loud. no idea what they look like. also heard two frogs which is unusual for where i live. they only made noise/ribbit for a second or two each time while i was out there today |

Only 29 inches so far. I guess by this time we have usually had around 60 inches. The lowest amount recorded for the season was in the 1930's we had 49 inches that winter. Maybe we will beat it this year. The humming bird hawk moth is so neat looking love watching it going from flower to flower. You can get really close. Hope everyone as a wonderful day. :kitten on fence: |

Quoting: >~* Flutterby Fringe*~< Is anyone else hearing things alone these lines? And in doing so and calling for the rest of your soul to come home, are you beginning to feel more tranquil and stable in body soul and spirit??? I would like to discuss this please . hey flutterby, your thread it so relativeeeee our fragments assembling, first inner then outer the puzzle is being rebuilt. You feel the flow already since months ago. Nice reminder. [link to www.godlikeproductions.com] bear hug ps sun energy is helping a lot Life is like riding a bicycle.
