Justus Liebig University Gießen, Institute forAnimal Physiology, Gießen (Germany))Numerous studies of applied biotremology are currently conducted worldwide, addressingvarious subjects with diverse approaches. In some cases, this research has yielded practicalsolutions already available on the market, such as bimodal traps for stinkbugs and devices forthe vibrational mating disruption of grapevine leafhoppers. The increasing interest in appliedaspects of biotremology has underscored the necessity of a shared terminology. This is crucialto promote intra and interdisciplinary communication, preventing unnecessary redundancy andensuring immediate comprehension, even among non-specialized audiences. In recent years,three milestones have shaped applied biotremology. First, in 2022, the term “semiophysicals”was introduced to indicate physical (including mechanical) signals affecting animal behavior, inparallel with semiochemicals. In 2023, the concept of “ecology of fear” was extended tobiotremology including vibrational signals into crop protection strategies. In this case,disturbance vibrations, even if not directly affecting key behaviors (e.g., mating, oviposition) cancause stress to insect pests, significantly reducing their fitness and plant damage. In 2024, thelexicon was furtherly expanded with the introduction of iconic terms like “pherodones” and“allelodones”, aligning with chemical ecology. The suffix “done” originates from the ancientGreek “δονίο”, meaning to shake. Pherodones are, therefore, homologous to pheromones,encompassing vibrational signals specifically emitted for intraspecific communication. Insectsexhibit various types of pherodones, including sexual, aggregation, social, alarm, and parentalpherodones. Allelodones are categorized in “kairodones”, “allodones” and “synodones”analogous to their semiochemical counterparts, based on their consequences as benefits or[20-3-01] A new Lexicon for Biotremology to bridge the gap with ChemicalEcology04/09/24, 13:56 ICE2024/A new Lexicon for Biotremology to bridge the gap with Chemical Ecologyhttps://confit.atlas.jp/guide/print/ice2024/subject/20-3-01/detail 1/2detriments for emitters and receivers.

The integration ofvibrational signals into the framework of pest management strategies holds promise for moresustainable and effective approaches, marking an exciting frontier in the ongoing efforts tosafeguard agricultural ecosystems.04/09/24, 13:56 ICE2024/A new Lexicon for Biotremology to bridge the gap with Chemical Ecologyhttps://confit.atlas.jp/guide/print/ice2024/subject/20-3-01/detail 2/2
