"This volume explains the key ideas, questions and methods involved in studying the hidden world of vibrational communication in animals. The authors dispel the notion that this form of communication is difficult to study, and show how vibrational signaling is a key to social interactions in species that live in contact with a substrate, whether it be a grassy lawn, a rippling stream, or a tropical forest canopy. This ancient and widespread form of social exchange is also remarkably understudied. A frontier in animal behavior, it offers unparalleled opportunities for discovery and for addressing general questions in communication and social evolution. In addition to reviews of advances made in the study of several animal taxa, this volume also explores topics such as vibrational communication networks, the interaction of acoustic and vibrational communication, the history of the field, the evolution of signal production and reception, and establishing a common vocabulary."--Provided by publisher

Biotremology is a new and emerging discipline in biological sciences that covers all aspects of behavior associated with substrate-borne mechanical waves. This volume provides state-of-the-art reviews and technical contributions from leading experts and invited younger researchers on topics from signal production and transmission to perception in its ecological context. Reviews about the knowledge of well-studied groups are complemented with perspectives on the study of less-explored groups or contexts. Special attention is given to practical issues in measuring substrate-borne vibrations as well as to applied biotremology. The book appeals to all those interested in communication and vibrational behavior.

The European Union and the roles of Member states is one of the major topics of political debate and academic discourse. Not merely the evolution of the political system in Brussels but also the developments within the individual Member States and between the different levels of multi-actor and multi-tiered governance promise new heights. This book provides a country-by-country analysis of how European policy is made and applied in the Member States. Its central focus is the involvement of national institutions and non-state actors interact and fit into the Union's system? The contributors present portraits of European policy-making in the member states in the 1990s. They show how Member States have adapted their insitutional structures in different ways to European integration, especially since the Maastricht Treaty. The editors argue that the extent and intensity of insitutional interaction between the EU and its member states have led to a "system of institutional fusion". This book is a comprehensive study of European policy-making at the national level. It provides scholars of integration studies and comparative polities with an insight in the European integration process in the member states.
