已经针对不同的生态群体描述了振动装置。触须的分类已被开发出来，分布模式也已被描述。实验上，已经揭示了 4 种功能性触毛类别：(1) 触毛执行适当的定向功能； (2) 控制动物将食物放入口中的位置的人员； (3) 防护触须和 (4) 控制主体相对于基底的位置的触须。在所研究的9个物种[Sciurus vulgaris、Tamias sibiricus、Citellus suslikus、Spermophilophsis leptodactylus、Pteromys volans、Glis glis、Apodemus sylvaticus、Rattusnorvegicus和Arvicola terrestris]中，“触毛场”被重建，并揭示了其与物种生态学的关系。当栖息地条件阻碍了视力的有效使用时，视觉的缺乏可以通过振动场的高度发展来补偿。据推测，“振动场”跨越了遥远感觉的死区，允许在介质中更快速、更有效地定向。
The vibrissal apparatus has been described for various ecological groups. A classification of vibrissae has been developed and distribution patterns have been decribed. Experimentally, 4 functional vibrissal classes have been revealed: (1) vibrissae performing the function of orientation proper; (2) the ones in control of the position of the food which the animal is taking into its mouth; (3) guard vibrissae and (4) vibrissae controlling the position of the body in relation to the substrate. In 9 species [Sciurus vulgaris, Tamias sibiricus, Citellus suslikus, Spermophilophsis leptodactylus, Pteromys volans, Glis glis, Apodemus sylvaticus, Rattus norvegicus and Arvicola terrestris] under study, the "vibrissal field" is reconstructed and its relationship with species ecology revealed. When effective use of vision is hampered by habitat conditions, lack of vision is compensated for by high development of the vibrissal field. Presumably, the "vibrissal field" spans the dead zone of the distant senses, permitting of more rapid and more efficient orientation in medium.
