REVIEW

Keeping an "Ear" to the Ground: Seismic Communication in Elephants

Caitlin E. O’Connell-Rodwell

Department of Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, California ceoconnell{at}stanford.edu

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.
