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

Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling
modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs …

Our ability to sense and move our bodies relies on proprioceptors, sensory neurons that
detect mechanical forces within the body. Different subtypes of proprioceptors detect …

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 …

Egg clutches of many animals hatch synchronously due to parental control [1, 2] or
environmental stimulation [3, 4]. In contrast, in some animals, embryos actively synchronize …

Many groups of insects utilize substrate-borne vibrations for communication. They display
various behaviors in response to vibrations in sexual and social communication and in …
