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

Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a devastating invasive pest of small and
stone fruits in the Americas and Europe. To better understand the population dynamics of D …

Animals rely on an internal sense of body position and movement to effectively control motor
behavior. This sense of proprioception is mediated by diverse populations of …

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 …

A high reproductive potential is one reason for the rapid spread of Drosophila suzukii in
Europe and in the United States. In order to identify mechanisms that mediate mating and …

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 …

Most larval drosophilids eat the microorganisms that develop in rotting fruit, a relatively
protein‐rich resource. By contrast, the spotted‐wing D rosophila suzukii M atsumara …

Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) play a central role in the chemical communication of many
insects. In Drosophila suzukii, an economically important pest insect, very little is known …

Behaviors associated with reproduction are major contributors to the evolutionary success of
organisms and are subject to many evolutionary forces, including natural and sexual …

Animals rapidly acquire surrounding information to perform the appropriate behavior.
Although social learning is more efficient and accessible than self-learning for animals, the …
