Abstract
A method for determining the steady-state gain in the tracheal hearing trumpet in bushcrickets is described: The expected change in force, caused by moving the front leg from one position to another (Fig. 1) can be calculated (Figs. 2 and 3), assuming a certain gain. Laser vibrometry is used for determining the velocity of a tympanal membrane in the two leg positions. The observed change in velocity (Figs. 4 and 5) can then be compared with the …
