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.

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

That incredibly loud song soaring over quieter birds in the Amazon rainforest belongs to the male white bellbird. At 125 decibels, his short but startling songs are louder than a jackhammer.

The white bellbird may be the loudest bird in the world.

These birds are making extraordinarily loud noises,

noises that are so loud that they would be harmful to our hearing if you had to hear them up close.

Instituto Nacional de Pesquistas de Amazonia. He and his colleague Jeffrey Podos recorded the birds

in their natural habitat. Their findings are in the journal Current Biology. Birds like the screaming

pija or Molokin Cacotoo have also laid claim to the loudness title.

But the researchers think the new study has better instrumentation and data than most studies previously published in the scientific literature.

Loud sounds are usually for long-distance communication, and then when the listener, or the potential listener, is up close, the volume is dropped way back down

so that nobody needs to call a lot of attention to themselves or blow out each other's hearing.

But in the case of the white belbird, the opposite seems to be true. The loudest sound they make is
