Sensory collectives in natural systems [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Groups of animals inhabit vastly different sensory worlds, or umwelten, which shape fundamental aspects of their behaviour. Yet the sensory ecology of species is rarely incorporated into the emerging field of collective behaviour, which studies the ...

Exploiting common senses: sensory ecology meets wildlife conservation and management. [PDF]
Conserv Physiol, 2021 Multidisciplinary approaches to conservation and wildlife management are often effective in addressing complex, multi-factor problems. Emerging fields such as conservation physiology and conservation behaviour can provide innovative solutions and ...

Sensory ecology of disease vectors
, 2022 How do arthropods that transmit human pathogens perceive their world? The answer is essential for controlling the spread of vector-borne diseases in a rational way, and can help solve a major problem in current times. This state-of-the-art compendium, written for students and researchers in the Life Sciences, shows how these organisms use their sensory

Open questions in marine mammal sensory research [PDF]
Biology Open, 2023 Although much research has focused on marine mammal sensory systems over the last several decades, we still lack basic knowledge for many of the species within this diverse group of animals.

Flow discharge impacts competition for food and shelter between two overlapping species of crayfish
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2023 Competition between aquatic organisms is heavily influenced by abiotic factors in the environment, specifically flow regime in aquatic systems. Flow regime has been shown to significantly affect the way in which a species uses the environmental resources

The sensory ecology of ocean navigation [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2008 SUMMARYHow animals guide themselves across vast expanses of open ocean, sometimes to specific geographic areas, has remained an enduring mystery of behavioral biology. In this review we briefly contrast underwater oceanic navigation with terrestrial navigation and summarize the advantages and constraints of different approaches used to analyze animal ...

First observations of nectar-drinking lizards on the African mainland [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Background and aims – Pollination of flowers is performed mainly by insects, but also by vertebrates. In South Africa, beside birds, non-flying mammals contribute to pollination.

Visibility and attractiveness of Fritillaria (Liliaceae) flowers to potential pollinators
Scientific Reports, 2021 Visual floral characters play an important role in shaping plant-pollinator interactions. The genus Fritillaria L. (Liliaceae), comprising approximately 140 species, is described as displaying a remarkable variety of flower colours and sizes.
