seismic communication

South African termites can relay vibrational alarm signals through their enormous nests by pounding their heads against the ground.

Seafloor seismometers record hundreds of thousands of fin whale calls, allowing marine geophysicists to track the elusive marine mammals.

A geophysicist stumbled on a way to track elusive fin whales with seismometers.

Researchers are learning how species from across the animal kingdom use seismic signals to mate, hunt, solve territorial disputes, and much more.
