Locust tympanal membrane moving at 10 kHz. Note the membrane moves as a travelling wave, originating in the thin membrane on the left but attenuating at the start of the thick membrane on the right. The PV, where the high frequency neurons attach, is out of phase with the rest of the membrane. Measurements are in displacement (mm/s/Pa).
This research was published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal SOciety B in the paper: 'Listening to the environment: hearing differences from an epigenetic effect in solitarious and gregarious locusts' by Gordon et al.
