Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

But a new study shows that orb weaving spiders can use their webs to detect sounds.

The findings are unfurled in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Any animal that makes sounds is likely to have an ear.

Ron Hoy studies neurobiology and behavior at Cornell University in Ithaca.

Ranging all the way from tiny crickets and flies that are even smaller than crickets,

all the way through to humans, of course.

It's also pretty interesting that a great many animals don't have eardrums, but they still hear.

That's Ron Miles.

The two Ron's here.

Critters lacking ear drums receive audio input via very fine hairs.

If you look at many insects and spiders, they're covered with hairs.

Because these wispy little filaments can float freely in the breeze, they're great at sensing the air currents that comprise sound waves.

We were kind of wondering, you know, how would you make something that could sense sound the way some of
