Termite Vibration Sensing: The Chordotonal Organs and Their Appendages. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study investigates how termites use their legs and antennae as vibration‐sensitive sensory organs, comparing them to ants, their eusocial predators. Termite appendages are morphologically adapted to detect lower‐frequency, wood‐borne vibrations, enhancing their foraging and predator avoidance abilities. These findings suggest that termite legs may
