Modeling the electromechanics of aerial electroreception
Aerial electroreception is the ability of some arthropods (e.g., bees) to detect electric fields in the environment. I present an overview of our attempts to model the electromechanics of this recently discovered phenomenon and how it might contribute to the sensory biology of arthropods. This is joint work with Daniel Robert and Ryan Palmer.
