Energetic Costs of Vibrational Signaling

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biotremology: Physiology, Ecology, and Evolution

Part of the book series: Animal Signals and Communication ((ANISIGCOM,volume 8))

Abstract

Costs associated with the production of signals used in sexual communication play a central role in the sexual selection theory. Arthropods relying on substrate-borne vibrations have often been included among examples of acoustic communication; however, taking into account that air-borne and substrate-borne mechanical signals are subject to different selection pressures when they travel through the environment via different transmission media, the costs associated with the production of these two types of mechanical signals are also likely to differ. So far, remarkably little is known about costs associated with substrate-borne vibrational communication. In this chapter, we provide an overview of our current knowledge on energy expenditure associated with the production of vibrational signals and indirect costs of male vibrational signaling. We also discuss some technical challenges encountered when measuring respiration rates and determining a relationship between the effort of vibrational signaling and survival. Our goal is to point out an important gap in our understanding of vibrational communication systems and stimulate further studies in this area.
