Sex pheromones play a crucial role in mate location and reproductive success. Insects face
challenges in finding mates in low-density environments. The population dynamics of …

Living organisms use both chemical and mechanical stimuli to survive in their environment.
Substrate-borne vibrations play a significant role in mediating behaviors in animals and …

Vibrations are ubiquitous in nature, sha** behavior across the animal kingdom. For
mammals, mechanical vibrations acting on the body are detected by mechanoreceptors of …

Intra-and interspecific communication is crucial to fitness via its role in facilitating mating,
territoriality and defence. Yet, the evolution of animal communication systems is puzzling …

Communication is fundamental in the animal kingdom, essential to interactions such as
mating, defense, and parental care. Vibrational communication has often been overlooked …

Communication plays a fundamental role in the evolution of any form of cooperative
behaviour, such as parental care. However, it can be challenging to understand the specific …

Many insect species communicate about activities central to their survival and reproduction
via vibrational signals (ie, waves that travel through solid substrates). One widely used and …

Acoustic behaviour plays a significant role in insect communications, but is rarely reported in
their immature stages. Larvae of Lucanidae bear paired stridulatory organs on their thoracic …

Insects rely on substrate vibrations in numerous intra-and interspecific interactions. Yet, our
knowledge of noise impact in this modality lags behind that in audition, limiting our …
