Researchers have discovered that hedgehogs can hear ultrasound, a surprising ability that could help protect them from cars. Since road traffic kills large numbers of hedgehogs, scientists believe ...

Road traffic accidents kill up to one in three hedgehogs in local populations. It’s not easy to deter hedgehogs from venturing on dangerous roads, but their hearing could be surprisingly useful. In a ...

A sound too high for you to hear may one day help keep hedgehogs off the road. That possibility comes from a new study in Biology Letters reporting that European hedgehogs can hear ultrasound, with ...

Scientists discover hedgehogs hear ultrasound, opening the possibility of warning sounds that keep them away from roads.

Could ultrasonic hearing save hedgehogs from becoming roadkill? New research shows they can hear noise at frequencies as high as 85 kilohertz, raising the prospect of specially-designed sound ...

Millions of hedgehogs die as they cross the roads, but a discovery is paving the way for a warning that might stop them crossing at dangerous times.

The proposal is based on their findings which show for the first time that hedgehogs can hear high-frequency ultrasound.

A research team at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a new noninvasive brain stimulation technique, by showing how focused ultrasound affects the human brain. Using brainwave recordings from ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have suggested that ultrasound-repellers could help reduce hedgehog deaths caused by cars. The proposal is based on new findings, published in Biology Letters, ...

Road traffic accidents are thought to kill up to a third of hedgehogs in local populations. View on euronews ...

The researchers, along with partners from industry and government railroad organizations, applied an advanced form of ultrasound featuring new beamforming algorithms to develop a ...
