In theories with extra dimensions there are generically brane kinetic terms for fields living in the bulk. These modify the masses and wave functions of the Kaluza-Klein expansions, and then the effective four dimensional gauge and Yukawa couplings of the corresponding modes. Here, we discuss some phenomenological consequences of fermion brane kinetic terms, emphasizing their implications for models with low compactification scales, whose agreement with experiment can be improved, and observable effects at collider energies, like the production of new fermions.
