4/4 For my #vibroscape studies I need long recordings (10 hours) on very sunny and windless days (#Insects like to sing on hot weather)
Problem is that the old laser cannot stand high temperatures, overheating at 35ºC. A natural shadow (trees) is the most desirable for long recordings, but sometimes I must improvise…
My job is to keep everything working smoothly and my recordings to be as clear as possible

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 🌱

#Introduction 1 / 2
Fresh migration to ecoevo! My name is Juan and I am a #PhD student at the NIB (#Slovenia). I’m a #biologist and #musician. My field is #Biotremology, or the study of communication in animals by substrate-borne vibrations. In my case, I study hay-meadow habitats and their #vibroscape. I use laser vibrometers to record it.
Here is our paper on vibroscapes:

Hear some cool insect vibrations!

#Vibroscape of a coastal meadow in #Slovenia. All the signals you can hear are from the local community of #insects. Imagine yourself for a second in the meadow, a tiny you, hanging in a blade of grass, feeling all these vibrations around you.
It can get loud out there! And the signals recorded are different from those recorded in meadows of a different habitat (as expected in my hypothesis, hurray!)
