"Studying Vibrational Communication is a significant contribution and starting point for understanding this mode of communication. ... For anyone interested in vibrational communication or the evolution of animal communication, this is a must read whether it is from cover to cover or one of the selected chapters. This volume is thought-provoking, informative, a useful reference, and an up-to-date summary of the current and past knowledge of vibrational communication in insects." (Richard W. Hofstetter, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 90 (3), September, 2015)
