The dynein–tubulin motor powers active oscillations and amplification in the hearing organ of the mosquito

The legend to figure 2 was incorrectly given as:

Figure 2. Mechanical SOs of the flagellum. (a) Amplitude spectrum of the displacement of the flagellum without stimulation showing the frequency-specific SOs (black). The grey trace shows a spectrum recorded from the same mosquito after cooling to 5°C. The sharp peak at 800 Hz corresponds to a calibrating vibration of 2 nm in amplitude. Inset shows the waveform of the SOs in the time domain. (b) Amplitude spectrum of the electrical activity of the JO in response to a 400 Hz pure tone at increasing intensity.

The corrected legend should read:

Figure 2. Mechanical SOs of the flagellum. (a) Amplitude spectrum of the displacement of the flagellum without stimulation showing the frequency-specific SOs (black). The grey trace shows a spectrum recorded from the same mosquito after injection with colchicine solution and loss of SOs. The sharp peak at 800 Hz corresponds to a calibrating vibration of 2 nm in amplitude. Inset shows the waveform of the SOs in the time domain. (b) Amplitude spectrum of the electrical activity of the JO in response to a 400 Hz pure tone at increasing intensity.
