Effects of Leaf Moisture on Transmission and Detection of Communication by a Wolf Spider
In the multimodal communication of S chizocosa ocreata wolf spiders, males respond to chemical signals from females with visual and substrate-borne...

DPOAEs and tympanal membrane vibrations reveal adaptations of the sexually dimorphic ear of the concave-eared torrent frog, Odorrana tormota
While most anuran species are highly vocal, few of them seem to be endowed with a complex call repertoire. Odorrana tormota , combines a remarkable...

The dam** properties of the foam-filled shaft of primary feathers of the pigeon Columba livia
The avian feather combines mechanical properties of robustness and flexibility while maintaining a low weight. Under periodic and random dynamic...

The human middle ear in motion: 3D visualization and quantification using dynamic synchrotron-based X-ray imaging
The characterization of the vibrations of the middle ear ossicles during sound transmission is a focal point in clinical research. However, the small...

Neuroethology of auditory systems: contributions in memory of Albert S. Feng
Albert (Al) S. Feng (1944 − 1921) was a pioneer in the area of neuroethology of auditory systems. This special issue of the Journal of Comparative...

Blooms and Buzzing Bees: Bridging Buzz Pollination and Biotremology
Approximately 6% of the world’s flowering plant species have specialised stamen morphologies that require mechanical stimulation (vibration) by bees...

Vibrational Behaviour in Honeybees
In the darkness of the nests of the western honeybee, Apis mellifera, communication among colony members is primarily based on chemical and...

Vibrational Communication Outside and Inside the Nest in Leaf-Cutting Ants
Ants live in complex societies that organize their activities, as all animal societies, mostly by means of communication. While chemical...

Substrate-Borne Vibrational Noise in the Anthropocene: From Land to Sea
Here we provide an overview of work related to anthropogenically produced substrate-borne vibrational noise. We review the marine and terrestrial...

Behind the mask(ing): how frogs cope with noise
Albert Feng was a pioneer in the field of auditory neuroethology who used frogs to investigate the neural basis of spectral and temporal processing...

Speleotremology: Ecology and Evolution of Vibrational Communication in Cavernicolous Insects
Colonization of underground habitats requires specific adaptations to cope with conditions that are strongly different from those in surface...

Destructive and non-destructive measurement approaches and the application of AI models in precision agriculture: a review
The estimation of pre-harvest fruit quality and maturity is essential for growers to determine the harvest timing, storage requirements and...

Neurophysiology goes wild: from exploring sensory coding in sound proof rooms to natural environments
To perform adaptive behaviours, animals have to establish a representation of the physical “outside” world. How these representations are created by...

Vibrational Behaviour and Communication in the New Zealand Weta (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae)
Vibrational signalling is an important communication mode in different taxa of Ensifera (long-horned grasshoppers), even though crickets and...

Remote monitoring of vibrational information in spider webs
Spiders are fascinating model species to study information-acquisition strategies, with the web acting as an extension of the animal’s body. Here, we...

In situ motions of individual inner-hair-cell stereocilia from stapes stimulation in adult mice
In vertebrate hearing organs, mechanical vibrations are converted to ionic currents through mechanoelectrical-transduction (MET) channels. Concerted...
