Acoustic communication is enabled by the evolution of specialised hearing and sound
producing organs. In this study, we performed a large-scale macroevolutionary study to …

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

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 …

Legged locomotion in terrestrial animals is often essential for mating and survival, and
locomotor behavior must be robust and adaptable to be successful. This adaptability is …

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

Abstract The New World Jerusalem crickets currently consist of 4 genera: Stenopelmatus
Burmeister, 1838, with 33 named entities; Ammopelmatus Tinkham, 1965, with 2 described …

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 …

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 …

Leg chordotonal organs in insects show different adaptations to detect body movements,
substrate vibrations, or airborne sound. In the proximal tibia of stick insects occur two …

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