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

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 …

Scolopidial sensilla in insects often form large sensory organs involved in proprioception or
exteroception. Here the knowledge on Nebenorgans and accessory organs, two organs …

Vibratory signals of biotic and abiotic origin occur commonly in the environment of all living
organisms. Many species deliberately produce such signals for communication purposes …

Hemipteran insects use sophisticated vibrational communications by striking body
appendages on the substrate or by oscillating the abdominal tymbal. There has been …

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

Leg chordotonal organs in insects show different adaptations to detect body movements,
substrate vibrations, or airborne sound. In the proximal tibia of stick insects occur two …

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 orthopteran insects, a complex tibial organ has evolved to detect substrate vibrations
and/or airborne sound. Species of New Zealand weta (Anostostomatidae) with tympanal …

In insects, the detection of mechanical stimuli from body movements, airborne sound,
substrate vibration, medium flow, or gravity by mechanosensory organs plays an important …
