Planthopper bugs use a fast, cyclic elastic recoil mechanism for effective vibrational communication at small body size

Vibrations through substrates are an important source of information for diverse organisms, from nematodes to elephants. The fundamental challenge for small animals using vibrational communication is to move their limited mass fast enough to provide sufficient kinetic energy for effective informatio...
