Alasan sebenarnya nyamuk berdengung

Seperti apa kira-kira bunyi nyanyian cinta seekor nyamuk? Mari cari jawabannya bersama kedua ahli saraf pemberani kita yang mengeksplorasi makna dengungan mengganggu di telingamu itu.

Mosquitoes use their distinctive buzzing not just to annoy but to attract mates. Despite their tiny size, their nervous systems rival ours in auditory sensitivity, helping them find the perfect partner. Male and female mosquitoes each produce specific pitches—males at 600 hertz, females at 400—and when they meet, they adjust their wingbeats to harmonize, creating a duet. This courtship song is key to mosquito romance and could unlock new ways to stop the spread of diseases like malaria.
