Distortion rules: audibility creation in the mosquito ear
2025-09-08
Abstract excerpt
Hearing begins when ears convert sound into neuronal excitation. The hearing organs of male Anopheles mosquitoes rank amongst the most sensitive ears evolved. Males use them to detect faint female flight tones within noisy mating swarms, but female flight tones largely lie above the male’s hearing range. We report a mechanism by which inaudible higher-frequency primary tones become audible through intrinsically g...
