All my thanks to Prof. Hannelore Hoch and Dr. Andreas Wessel who had the
ability to discover these descriptions in the enormous amount of new facts and

Acknowledgments
We gratefully acknowledge and thank the Fondazione Edmund Mach, Valerio
Mazzoni, and his local organizing committees (Floriana Marin, Anna Eriks-
son, Gianfranco Anfora, Cristina Castellani, Gonzalo Cervantes, Michela Angeli,
AlessandroGretter)forhostingBiotremology2016and2018,ourfirsttwointerna-
tionalconferencesforthenewlyemergingscienceofbiotremology.Theseprovided
an excellent opportunity to meet as a community, to talk in person, and to form
alliances that have allowed our new scientific discipline to grow rapidly and to
flourish in a very short period of time. We appreciate the patience, support, and
enthusiasm of Andrea Schlitzberger, our Springer Project Coordinator, and Lars
Koerner,our Editor at Springer Nature. We further thank Vincent Janik and Peter
McGregor,editorsofthe AnimalSignalsandCommunicationseriesin which this
volume is included, for their support and encouragement.AW particularly thanks
HanneloreHochandtheMuseumfürNaturkundeBerlinforaworkplace.Lastbut
not least, we would like to thank all biotremologistsfor their dedicated work and
excitingresearch.
