The ground offers acoustic efficiency gains for crickets and other calling animals

The paper shows that calling from the ground significantly increases acoustic efficiency for crickets and other animals, challenging the view of ground as an impediment.

Reconstruction of sound driven, actively amplified and spontaneous motions within the tree cricket auditory organ

This study uses OCT to measure vibrations in the tree cricket auditory organ, revealing mechanical coupling via acoustic trachea that amplifies sound-evoked motions and generates spontaneous oscillations.

Overtone focusing in biphonic Tuvan throat singing

This study investigates biphonic Tuvan throat singing, showing how vocal tract morphology modulates overtones to produce two simultaneous pitches through linear filtering.

Posture controls mechanical tuning in the black widow spider mechanosensory system

This study shows that posture in black widow spiders affects mechanical input to vibration-sensing organs, altering vibration perception and highlighting the interaction between behavior and perception.
