Ultrasonic Communication Among Frogs

May 11th, 2009 -- Posted in How, What | No Comments »

UCLA scientists report on the only known frog species that can communicate using purely ultrasonic calls, whose frequencies are too high to be heard by humans. Known as Huia cavitympanum, the frog lives only on the Southeast Asian island of Borneo.

Ultrasounds are high-pitched sounds more than 20 kilohertz (kHz) in frequency, which exceeds the upper limit of sounds detectable by humans and is far higher than the 5 to 8 kHz frequencies most amphibians, reptiles and birds are capable of hearing or producing. Key parts of the ear must be specially adapted to detect ultrasounds.

The frogs can hear sounds up to 38 kilohertz, the highest frequency any amphibian species has been known to hear, the scientists report. Humans can hear up to about 20 kHz and typically talk at 2 or 3 kHz.

While most of the more than 5,000 frog species worldwide have eardrums that are flat on the side of the head, Huia cavitympanum has eardrums recessed in the side of the skull, similar to mammals. Read the rest of this entry »

Benefits From The Use of Wind Generators
Wind generators offer us many benefits. The two most common benefits are to save money and reduce polluting the environment.

Wind generators seem to be growing in numbers all over the place. They are a great way to create an alternate source of energy. With the volume of electricity that is consumed daily out there we definitely need to take advantage of such options. The cost of the electricity consumed continues to increase as well. Do you want to keep on writing a larger check to the electric company or do something about it?
A wind generator can be erected by a professional for you. These are often the larger turbine styles though. They are very tall and heavy so getting them correctly in place requires the use of heavy equipment. There are also home wind generators that you can build on your own. They are more affordable and they are one a smaller scale. So even if you don’t have a huge amount of land you can still place wind generators on it.
