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.
Natasa Stritih-Peljhan received her BS, MS and PhD degrees at the University of Ljubljana, after being broadly trained in most sub-disciplines of biology at the undergraduate level. During her MS and PhD studies, she specialised in neurophysiology, neuroanatomy and sensory evolution, in a tight collaboration with Georg-August University in Göttingen. She works at the National Institute of Biology in Ljubljana, focusing her research on various aspects of vibrational behaviour and sensory detection of vibration stimuli, using non-hearing cave crickets as a model. She also has experience in chemical ecology, having contributed to research of pheromone communication in various insect groups.
Meta Virant-Doberlet received her PhD from the University of Ljubljana. Having initially trained as an insect neurobiologist at the Max Planck Institute for Behavioural Physiology in Seewiesen, she is now focusing her research on various aspects of arthropod vibrational communication. She has been a Marie Curie fellow at Cardiff University and is now Head of the Department of Organisms and Ecosystems Research at the National Institute of Biology in Ljubljana, where she uses leafhoppers as a model for studying interactions shaping the evolution of thevibrational communication channel. Andreas Wessel was trained in evolutionary and behavioral biology at the University of Vienna and Humboldt University Berlin. He currently works in Berlin, Germany, as an independent researcher and is affiliated with the Museum of Natural History as a guest researcher. His research focus is on cave planthoppers as models for vibrational communication as well as adaptation to extreme environments and rapid speciation. Furthermore, he publishes frequently on the history and philosophy of biology, and writes for various newspapers and magazines.Thanks for subscribing!
