(biology) The study of production, dispersion, and reception of vibrations by organisms, and their effect on behavior..
More precisely biotremology studies the communication by surface-borne vibrations, detected by specialized perception organs (e.g. slit-sense organs in spiders, subgenual organs in insects, hair receptors, Pacinian and Herbst corpuscles in vertebrates) measuring the oscillations at a boundary between media.
These exceptional features are further demonstrated through a second discrimination analysis of Varroa gait and that of two other invertebrate species (woodlouse and carabid beetle). […] This research provides a significant step forward in Varroa biotremology as well as remote mite detection in colonies.
