Biotremology of Social Wasps: The Next Step to Understand Wasps’ Social Life
, 2022 Vibrational communication, the use of the surface-borne component of mechanical waves, is widespread in arthropods, but its role is almost unknown for the majority of species. The preponderance of other communication modalities has often masked the occurrence of vibrational communication, even when observations suggested that substrate-borne waves were
