1/4 Tools of #Biotremology
#Laser Vibrometer
Mainly used in engineering and car manufacturing, now #biologist gave it the role of a “microphone” for #vibrational communication. The laser beam is focused on a #plant and records the vibrations travelling in its surface (substrate-borne vibrations) with the software of choice (we use Raven Pro, a favorite for #ornithology). The vibrometer offers the possibility to listen passively (#PAM), without disrupting the animals. But there are problems…

#Introduction 2 / 2
What do I do? We are now able to #listen to a secret #environment hidden from our senses. I study #vibrational #communication in #insects. They use #plants to propagate their vibrational signals in #nature.
This branch of #Biology is named #Biotremology. Adapting the definition of #soundscape, we want to bring attention to the existence of a #vibroscape, that could be of special interest for #bioacoustics #conservation #ecoacoustics #behavior #science 🌱

Some more details. Thanks to technology we are able now to #listen to a secret #environment hidden from our senses. I study #vibrational #communication in #insects. They use #plants to propagate their vibrational signals in nature.
