This simulation reveals that ancestors of the katydid produced songs that filled Jurassic rainforests, contributing to a soundscape that included more than just dinosaur roars. The project provides the first auditory glimpse into this prehistoric environment in millions of years.Why it mattersBiologist Thorin Jonsson led the effort to estimate these calls based on wing structure and movement. Understanding these sounds helps scientists better understand the biolog https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/what-did-jurassic-forests-sound-like-like-thishttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/what-did-jurassic-forests-sound-like-like-this#u59163Sun, 06 Sep 2026 23:40:15 +0000Researchers have recreated the sounds of insects from the Jurassic period, 165 million years ago, using fossilized insect wings. The simulated soundscape provides insight into what a Jurassic forest might have sounded like. The team, led by biologist Thorin Jonsson, used the fossilized wings to estimate the insects' calls. The recreated sounds are based on analysis of the wing structures and movement.Why it mattersThe Jurassic period, part of the Mesozoic era, is often referred to as the age of reptiles. However, insects also thrived during this time. Reconstructing their sounds helps sci
