Sensory and Cognitive Ecology of Bats

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2021
We see stunning morphological diversity across the animal world. Less conspicuous but equally fascinating are the sensory and cognitive adaptations that determine animals’ interactions with their environments and each other. We discuss the development of the fields of sensory and cognitive ecology and the importance of integrating these fields to ...

The Sensory Ecology of Nonconsumptive Predator Effects

American Naturalist, 2014
Nonconsumptive effects (NCEs) have been shown to occur in numerous systems and are regarded as important mechanisms by which predation structures natural communities. Sensory ecology-that is, the processes governing the production, propagation, and masking of cues by ambient noise-provides insights into the strength of NCEs as functions of the ...

The Sensory Ecology of Foraging for Animal Prey

2012
Many prosimians eat animal food, including arthropods and small vertebrates. This chapter explores the clues prosimians rely on to detect and identify animal prey, and their sensory adaptations for predation. Available observational and experimental datasets suggest that acoustic and visual (especially motion) cues, as well as olfactory and tactile ...

Sensory Ecology of Subterranean Rodents

2007
Ever since Dusenbery’s seminal monograph published in 1992, sensory ecology has been defined as the study of how organisms acquire and respond to information. Hence, in contrast to classical ecology with its focus on energy flows, sensory ecology deals with information flows (Dusenbery 1992).

The beauty of sensory ecology

History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, 2017
Sensory ecology is a discipline that focuses on how living creatures use information to survive, but not to live. By trans-defining the orthodox concept of sensory ecology, a serious heterodox question arises: how do organisms use their senses to live, i.e. to enjoy or suffer life?

Plant ecoacoustics: a sensory ecology approach

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023
Many interactions of plants with the environment have an acoustic component, including the actions of herbivores and pollinators, wind and rain. Although plants have long been tested for their response to single tones or music, their response to naturally occurring sources of sound and vibration is barely explored.

ECOLOGICAL-SENSORY MINDFULNESS

2023
It is without a doubt true that nature is the foundation of all ecosystems and that all living things inherit the intelligence of nature, but every human being has the primary desire to survive, along with the need to improve livelihoods, the desire to gratify wants, and eventually the desire to control their environment—all without adhering to the ...
