Abstract
Despite the artificial conditions, flight tone recordings taken from tethered mosquitoes can provide valuable information on the acoustic signals produced by male and female mosquitoes. Although auditory responsiveness appears to be largely (and possibly exclusively) restricted to males, the flight tones of both sexes have sensory-ecological relevance, as it is the mixing of the two tones that produces audibility in males and thereby facilitates reproduction. This protocol describes how to record wing flapping from mounted mosquitoes and how to estimate wingbeat frequencies from those recordings.
