Download or read book Biotremology: Physiology, Ecology, and Evolution written by Peggy S. M. Hill and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotremology is a new and emerging discipline in biological sciences that covers all aspects of behavior associated with substrate-borne mechanical waves. This volume provides state-of-the-art reviews and technical contributions from leading experts and invited younger researchers on topics from signal production and transmission to perception in its ecological context. Reviews about the knowledge of well-studied groups are complemented with perspectives on the study of less-explored groups or contexts. Special attention is given to practical issues in measuring substrate-borne vibrations as well as to applied biotremology. The book appeals to all those interested in communication and vibrational behavior.
