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 …

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

The relationships among and within the families that comprise the orthopteran superfamily
Stenopelmatoidea (suborder Ensifera) remain poorly understood. We developed a …

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 …

We investigate the influence of leg mechanics on the vibration input and function of
vibrosensitive organs in the legs of the cave cricket Troglophilus neglectus, using laser …

The subgenual organ complex in the leg of Polyneoptera (Insecta) consists of several
chordotonal organs specialized to detect mechanical stimuli from substrate vibrations and …

Insects alter their walking pattern in order to respond to demands of an ever-changing
environment, such as varying ground surface textures. They also exhibit resilient and flexible …

Vibrational communication is common in insects and often includes signals with prominent
frequency components below 200 Hz, but the sensory adaptations for their detection are …

Vibration detection in insects can be studied behaviourally and neurophysiologically.
Specialised vibration receptor organs are often located in the legs. Determining the vibratory …
