Hello! I'm a Biotremologist with a passion for insect vibrational communication. I record meadow vibroscapes in Slovenia and around. Happy to talk bugs🔊🐜🍀
You can listen to some vibroscapes here: soundcloud.com/tremoneta
And a little documentary(in French!)

New #Vibroscape paper out!
My first paper as first author- What a (long) process this was, but I am very happy with the result!

What's new: Vibroscapes change not only in different habitats but even in microhabitats. Complexity going up!🌿

What if we combine insect substrate-borne vibrations with jazz? Well, have a listen! 🔊🥁
This album was made with the contributions of several biotremologists around the glove. Original insect signals also included!

In our paper, “Is it Time for Ecotremology?” we argue that studying the #vibroscape can provide valuable insights into ecosystems, and is often overlooked. A short yet beautiful read for anyone interested in #Biotremology 🦗🌿
