Thoracic vibrations in stingless bees (Melipona seminigra): resonances of the thorax influence vibrations associated with flight but not those associated with sound production
(COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2008)
Bees generate thoracic vibrations with their indirect flight muscles in various behavioural contexts. The main frequency component of non-flight vibrations, during which the wings are usually folded over the abdomen, is ...
Geographic variation in the matching between call characteristics and tympanic sensitivity in the Weeping lizard
(Wiley, 2021)
Effective communication requires a match among signal characteristics, environmental
conditions, and receptor tuning and decoding. The degree of matching, however,
can vary, among others due to different selective pressures ...
Stridulation in the wild kissing bug Mepraia spinolai: description of the stridulatory organ and vibratory disturbance signal
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019)
Stridulation is a type of communication in which a mechanical signal is emitted by the friction of two rigid structures. Stridulation is present in kissing bugs (Reduviidae: Triatominae), where the friction of the proboscis ...
When signal meets noise: Immunity of the frog ear to interference
(2009)
Sound stimulates the tympanic membrane (TM) of anuran amphibians through multiple, poorly understood pathways. It is conceivable that interactions between the internal and external inputs to the TM contribute to the nonlinear ...
Piezoelectric mirror shifter transfer function measurement, modelling, and analysis using feedback based synthetic-heterodyne Michelson interferometry
(2020-12-15)
Laser vibrometry has many applications in non-contact dynamic displacement and vibration measurement. A test beam reflected from a target and a reference beam are combined and detected by a photodiode; the photodetected ...
Stridulation in the wild kissing bug Mepraia spinolai: description of the stridulatory organ and vibratory disturbance signal
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Stridulation is a type of communication in which a mechanical signal is emitted by the friction of two rigid structures. Stridulation is present in kissing bugs (Reduviidae: Triatominae), where the friction of the proboscis ...
