Scientists discover hedgehogs hear ultrasound, opening the possibility of warning sounds that keep them away from roads.
The team is looking for volunteer collaborators within the car industry who could spare the funds to finance a prototype repellant device.
Up to one in three hedgehogs in local populations die on roads. When it comes to how animals use ultrasound, chances are you immediately think of bats and their amazing echolocation ability. However, ...
Study shows animals hear very high frequencies, making it possible to design a deterrent to cut deaths ...
New research suggests that ultrasound devices may help reduce the incidents of hedgehog deaths by cars and robot lawnmowers – and might even help us learn more about how they communicate with each ...
The proposal is based on their findings which show for the first time that hedgehogs can hear high-frequency ultrasound.
A new study provides the first visual evidence showing that brain circuits in living animals can be activated by ultrasound waves projected into specific patterns (holograms). Led by scientists at NYU ...
