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

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 …

Animal communication, including that among humans, is fascinating in its efficiency,
diversity and its complexity. The evolution of a communication signal requires that the …

Highlights•Vibrations through substrates contain information important for many
species.•Complex physical constraints act on propagating vibrations.•Adaptations of animals …

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 …

Here we provide an overview of work related to anthropogenically produced substrate-borne
vibrational noise. We review the marine and terrestrial vibrational noise literature base …

Our experiences shape our knowledge and understanding of the world around us. The
natural vibrational environment (vibroscape) is hidden to human senses but is nevertheless …

Substrate-borne vibratory signals are thought to be one of the most ancient and
taxonomically widespread communication signals among animal species, including …

Signalling via substrate vibration represents one of the most ubiquitous and ancient modes
of insect communication. In crickets (Grylloidea) and other taxa of tympanate Ensifera …

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