Fine tune - Letters - Letter to the Editor

Science News, Feb 8, 2003 by Andy Barnett

It's no surprise to find that the Borneo tree frog tunes into his tree hole ("Frogs Play Tree: Male tunes his call to specific tree hole," SN: 12/7/02, p. 356). From the resonance of electron shells to the orbits of planets, stars, and galaxies, harmonic relationships define all of creation. Many frogs have external tympanic membranes that resonate to their tiny chirpings. This mechanism helps put entire ponds full of frogs in sync.
