Discovered species with auditory hearing in nature

The giant worms (Galleria mellonella) have been identified as new hearing champions, with a sensitivity of 150 times that of human hearing.

The new study, published by the University of Leeds, UK, in the Royal Society magazine, shows that the giant worms are extremely sensitive auditory species, despite their ear structure. pretty simple. They are capable of capturing sound with frequencies from 300kHz, the highest frequency recorded in the natural world. Meanwhile, the ears of people can only hear sounds with frequencies from 2-5kHz.

This 'super' ability of the worms is the result of an evolutionary process that affects each other. (Wax worms are one of bat food).

New world champion hearing - giant worms.

To reach this conclusion, scientists have conducted experiments on this worms. They used the latest type of scientific device called Doppler laser vibration detector to test the hearing ability of 20 worms.

'This is the best evidence of an' arms race 'evolution between carnivores and prey,' said Dr Hannah Moir of Leed University in England.

The excellent hearing ability of worms is used to detect bats and is also the way that male worms use to train during worms.

The ability to hear sounds at a frequency of up to 300kHz of worms has surprised scientists, because it is twice as high as the record set by the gypsy North American worm. In the meantime, there are no types of bats capable of creating or hearing such high-frequency sound.
