Biotremology is a field of study focused on an ancient way of communication by animals
endowed with specialized organs for emission and reception of substrate-borne vibrations …

In arthropods, the detection of vibrational signals and stimuli is essential in several
behaviours, including mate recognition and pair formation, prey detection, and predator …

Over the past few decades, scientists have discovered that insects live in complex vibratory
environments that they both create and exploit for their survival. Yet, this growing body of …

Termites sense tiny substrate-borne vibrations through subgenual organs (SGOs) located
within their legs' tibiae. Little is known about the SGOs' structure and physical properties. We …

In the darkness of the nests of the western honeybee, Apis mellifera, communication among
colony members is primarily based on chemical and mechanical signals. In this chapter, we …

This book series provides a wide coverage of animal communication research including
signal production and perception, development, behavioural mechanisms, signal function …

In the darkness of their nests, most social insect species communicate relying on chemical,
tactile, electrical and mechanical signals. In honeybees, vibrational signals play a role not …

Stink bugs communicate while mating on a plant by means of the substrate-borne
component of the species and sex-specific calling, courtship and rival signals, produced by …

Detection of sound and substrate vibration is crucial for the survival and reproduction of
many animals, particularly insects. Bushcrickets (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae), developed a …

Acoustic and vibrational sensitivity of single identified auditory receptors in bushcrickets was
studied by electrophysiological methods. In the intermediate organ, some neurons were …
