Abstract
Biotremology has developed enormously since the previous book in this series was published in 2014. As is common in a rapidly growing subject, the growth is uneven with some aspects of biotremology, as well as some species groups, covered more deeply than others. This chapter attempts to encourage work in all aspects of the subject by presenting a scheme that summarizes most of the component processes, puts biotremology in the context of other sensory modes, and briefly discusses some of the gaps in the field.
