英文释义

名词 n.
  1. Synonym of biotremology. uncountable
    — In spite of vibrational communication being so widespread (more than 230,000 arthropods species and many vertebrates too), it is probably the least commonly known and least well known of all the sensory modes. […] Perhaps one reason is that there is not a word describing what we do; I suggest the term “tremology” (the study of tremors, vibrations, etc.).

词源

From tremo(r) + -logy. Coined by Canadian biologist John Endler in Studying Vibrational Communication (2014).
