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

Vibrations and sounds, collectively called vibroacoustics, play significant roles in intracolony
communication in termites, social wasps, ants, and social bees. Modalities of vibroacoustic …

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

Highlights•Vibration receptor organs contain mechanosensilla detecting substrate
vibrations.•Vibrations are important signals by potential mates and rivals or predator …

Unlike airborne signals, substrate-borne vibrational signals are confined within the size and
shape of their medium of communication, which in the case of small arthropods often …

In nature, communication predominantly occurs in a group of several conspecific and/or
heterospecific individuals within signaling and receiving range of each other, ie, in a network …

The increasing demand for safe and sustainably produced food is leading to the
development of strategies of pest control alternative to chemicals. One innovative method is …

Habitat characterisation is a pivotal step of any animal ecology study. The choice of
variables used to describe habitats is crucial and need to be relevant to the ecology and …

The ability to identify and locate conspecifics depends on reliable transfer of information
between emitter and receiver. For a majority of plant-dwelling insects communicating with …

Psyllids perform duetting via vibrational signals between genders that are important in pre-
copulation species specific recognition. To date, vibrational behavior has been recorded in …
