This review explores the mechanisms that elephants may use to send and receive seismic signals from a physical, anatomical, behavioral, and physiological perspective. The implications of the use of the vibration sense as a multimodal signal will be discussed in light of the elephant's overall fitness and survival.
本综述从物理、解剖学、行为学和生理学角度探讨了大象可能用于发送和接收地震信号的机制。鉴于大象的整体健康状况和生存情况,将讨论把振动感知用作多模态信号的意义。
