Japanese Scientists Use Frog Choruses To Design Wireless Sensor Network by massmediang: 6:00pm On Feb 10, 2019
This story is a bit technical but contains amazing revelations in the field of technological advancements.

A team of Scientists in Japan took time to listen to frog choruses and identified a pattern which they turned into a mathematical model for developing a wireless sensor network.
The scientists discovered that frog choruses are functional and regulated, and came up with a model that inspired an invention. Checkout this story.
Frogs communicate with sound, and amid their ruckus is an internally orchestrated system that lets information get through more clearly while also permitting collective choruses and time to rest. Researchers from Osaka University and University of Tsukuba sought to leverage this amphibious acumen for mathematical and technological aims.
The team looked at the calling patterns of male Japanese tree frogs over different time intervals. To do so, they placed three frogs in individual inside cages and recorded their vocal interplay. They found the frogs both avoided overlapping croaks and collectively switched between calling and silence. The researchers then created a mathematical model to adapt the frogs’ acoustic teachings for technological benefit, as such patterns are similar to those valued in networks. The findings are reported in the journal Royal Society Open Science.

“We found neighboring frogs avoided temporal overlap, which allows a clear path for individual voices to be heard,” study co-author Daichi Kominami explains. “In this same way, neighboring nodes in a sensor network need to alternate the timings of data transmission so the data packets don’t collide.”

Nice work. If I get the message they created a system inspired by how frogs chorus to help avoid overlapping communication. Channel access.
