Researchers can assess the effectiveness of these defenses by staging meetups, so-called bioassays, between prey and predator. But entomologist Jean-Luc Boev\u00e9 and informatics engineer Rudi Giot have taken a different approach, translating the secretions&#8217; chemical composition into sounds, and measuring how humans react.
