I saw this article that I thought was interesting.  It's unclear to me=20
whether the research would have potential application in Nature Recording =

(though I tend to think it could), but it involves looking at nature to =

assist in designing better recording equipment (sensitive microphones, in =

this case).
--------------------------------
How a locust=B4s eardrum could lead to tiny microphones

understanding how insect ears can be so sensitive could lead to new=20
microphones able to capture and analyse extremely faint sounds.
