Ecology 🤝 physics. I'm a @humboldt-foundation.de postdoc fellow looking at the sensory systems and biomechanics of weird animals with @multipleye-lab.bsky.social 🕷️👀 PhD was uncovering electrostatic ecology🐛🦋⚡
First things first - do they actually accumulate static electricity in the high humidity of the tropical rainforest? We used a device called a picoammeter, which detects tiny currents, to measure the electrostatic charge of the treehoppers, wasps, and bees as they flew, jumped, or dropped through it
