Malaria prevention relies on mosquito control interventions that use insecticides and exploit behavior. The rise of insecticide resistance changing transmission dynamics urgently demand vector innovation. To identify behavioral traits could be incorporated into such tools, we investigated the flight landing response Anopheles coluzzii to human-like host cues. We show rate is directly proportional surface area thermal stimulus, whereas close-range orientation modulated by both visual inputs....
Abstract Anopheles mosquitoes mate at sunset in aerial swarms. The development of mating-based methods for effective malaria vector control requires a good knowledge the flight behaviour species mating However, process how swarms are formed and maintained remains poorly understood. Here, we characterized three-dimensional spatial temporal kinematics coluzzii males swarming above ground marker. We observed that location, shape volume were highly stereotypic, consistent over duration,...
Malaria mosquitoes mate in swarms, but how these swarms are formed and maintained remains poorly understood. We characterized three-dimensional spatial-temporal flight kinematics of Anopheles coluzzii males swarming at sunset above a ground marker. The location, shape volume were highly stereotypic, consistent over the complete duration. Swarms have an elliptical cone shape; mean varies spatially within swarm, remain rather throughout Using sensory system-informed model, we show that use...
Given the unsurpassed sound sensitivity of mosquitoes among arthropods and source power required for long-range hearing, we investigated distance over which female detect species-specific cues in station-keeping mating swarms. A common misunderstanding, that cannot hear at long range because their hearing organs are ‘particle-velocity’ receptors, has clouded fact particle velocity is an intrinsic component whatever to source. We exposed free-flying Anopheles coluzzii females pre-recorded...
Cantor Digitalis, a real-time formant synthesizer controlled by graphic tablet and stylus, is used for assessment of melodic precision accuracy in singing synthesis. Melodic are measured three experiments groups 20 28 subjects. The task the subjects to sing musical intervals short melodies, at various tempi, using chironomy (hand-controlled singing), mute (without audio feedback), their own voices. results show high obtained all chironomic control Some performed significantly better compared...
Mosquitoes of many species mate in station-keeping swarms. Mating chases ensue as soon a male detects the flight tones female with his auditory organs. Previous studies hearing thresholds have mainly used electrophysiological methods that prevent mosquito from flying naturally. The main aim this study was to quantify behaviourally sound level threshold at which males can hear females. Free-flying Anopheles coluzzii were released large arena (∼2 m high×2 m×1 m) conspicuous object on ground...
Cantor Digitalis is a performative singing synthesizer that composed of two main parts: chironomic control interface and parametric voice synthesizer. The based on pen/touch graphic tablet equipped with template representing vocalic melodic spaces. Hand pen positions, pressure, graphical user are assigned to specific vocal controls. This allows for real-time accurate over high-level synthesis parameters. sound generation system features spectral source model, tract model consisting parallel...
This paper reports on experiments in real-time gestural control of voice synthesis. The ability hand writing gestures for controlling singing intonation (chironomic synthesis) is studied. In a first part, the synthesizer and controller are described. system developed an environment multi-users music synthesis, allowing synthetic choir singing. second performances subjects playing with analyzed. results show that chironomic singers able to melody accuracy, perform vibrato, portamento other...
Mosquito acoustic communication is studied for its singular and poorly-known in-flight hearing mechanism, efficiency in mechanical-to-acoustical power transduction, as well being the deadliest disease vector. A combined computational experimental methods to predict extract wing-tone sound from individual tethered or free-flying mosquitoes was developed. This paper describes gives some preliminary results of simulations. Simultaneous slow-motion images (20k fps) 3D-sound Culex...
