Vibrations as communication tool: Years after von Frisch interpreted the symbolism of the dances, Wenner and Esch independently found that dancing bees make sounds during their waggling run. Both men suggested that the sounds might help the dancer attract an audience in the dark nest. Many researchersdoubted this premise becausethey thought bees could not hear airborne sounds. Still, the notion was not ignored altogether. Many insects, including bees, are quite sensitive to vibrations. Hence, some investigators speculated that the sounds the foragers produced could vibrate the combs under their feet as they danced. The comb vibrations might then advertise the dance to those bees who could not otherwise see the forager. | Vibrations as communication tool: Years after von Frisch interpreted the symbolism of the dances, Wenner and Esch independently found that dancing bees make sounds during their waggling run.

The student will need to apply signal processing techniques (these can be from a library) to mine for patterns selection of the recordings. Any techniques may be used here, but statistical machine learning techniques are probably most promising. When candidate patterns are found, these need to be tested with different selections of the recording in order to prevent spurious patterns from being found. | The student will need to apply signal processing techniques (these can be from a library) to mine for patterns selection of the recordings.
