Approximately 6% of flowering plant species possess flowers with anthers that open through
small pores or slits. Extracting pollen from this type of specialised flower is achieved most …

Communication by substrate-borne mechanical waves is widespread in insects. The
specifics of vibrational communication are related to heterogeneous natural substrates that …

Bacterial anti-phage systems are frequently clustered in microbial genomes, forming
defense islands. This property enabled the recent discovery of multiple defense systems …

Compared with our cousins on the Tree of Life, humans are poor listeners. 1 Below the
lower end of human hearing lies deep infrasound: the realm of thunder and tornadoes …

Due to human perceptional bias in favor of air-borne sounds, substrate-borne vibrational
signaling has been traditionally regarded as a highly specialized, inherently short-range …

Behavioral manipulation (BM) is a multimodal control approach based on the interference
with the stimuli mediating insect perception and interaction with the surroundings. BM could …

Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling
modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs …

Vibrations are all around us. We can detect vibrations with sensitive skin mechanoreceptors,
but our conscious awareness of the presence of vibrations is often limited. Nevertheless …

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) present revolutionary opportunities to
enhance our understanding of animal behaviour and conservation strategies. Using …

Often overlooked, vibration transmission through the entire body of an animal is an important
factor in understanding vibration sensing in animals. To investigate the role of dynamic …
