Juan López<p>Raw recording of the <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/vibroscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>vibroscape</span></a> of a grass blade🌱<br />Minimal modifications (just some noise cleaning) so you get an idea of what you would &quot;hear&quot; if you would be an <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>insect</span></a> resting on that grass, in Ljubljana&#39;s marsh.

The laser beam is focused on a <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/plant" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>plant</span></a> and records the vibrations travelling in its surface (substrate-borne vibrations) with the software of choice (we use Raven Pro, a favorite for <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/ornithology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ornithology</span></a>). The vibrometer offers the possibility to listen passively (<a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/PAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PAM</span></a>), without disrupting the animals. But there are problems…</p>
