Abstract
Biotremology, officially coined in 2016, has rapidly emerged as a distinct scientific discipline, focusing on the study of substrate-borne mechanical waves in animal communication, particularly among insects. Initially seen as a niche within bioacoustics, biotremology is now recognized for its broad significance, rivalling chemical communication in its prevalence. This special issue highlights the multidisciplinary nature of biotremology, with research spanning insect behaviour, ecology and pest management. Studies showcase advances in understanding vibrational communication across diverse insect taxa, the development of new tools for reliable playback experiments and the growing potential of biotremology in applied pest control. This collection provides a snapshot of a dynamic field in rapid expansion, pushing the boundaries of both fundamental research and practical applications.
期刊介绍:
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata publishes top quality original research papers in the fields of experimental biology and ecology of insects and other terrestrial arthropods, with both pure and applied scopes. Mini-reviews, technical notes and media reviews are also published. Although the scope of the journal covers the entire scientific field of entomology, it has established itself as the preferred medium for the communication of results in the areas of the physiological, ecological, and morphological inter-relations between phytophagous arthropods and their food plants, their parasitoids, predators, and pathogens. Examples of specific areas that are covered frequently are:
host-plant selection mechanisms
chemical and sensory ecology and infochemicals
parasitoid-host interactions
behavioural ecology
biosystematics
(co-)evolution
migration and dispersal
population modelling
sampling strategies
developmental and behavioural responses to photoperiod and temperature
nutrition
natural and transgenic plant resistance.
