Lateral Line Sensory Ecology

2004
Because all fish experience night, perpetually dark, or turbid waters, there is strong selection for the use of non-visual senses in all fish species. Anatomical diversity hints that the lateral line is one of the most important senses for fishes, and it is put to diverse use.

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).

Biotremology and Sensory Ecology

2019
Biotremology has developed enormously since the previous book in this series was published in 2014. As is common in a rapidly growing subject, the growth is uneven with some aspects of biotremology, as well as some species groups, covered more deeply than others.

The sensory ecology of birds

Animal Behaviour, 2017
Abstract The natural world contains a huge amount of constantly changing information. Limitations on, and specializations within, sensory systems mean that each species receives only a small part of that information. In essence, information is filtered by sensory systems.

Sensory Ecology of Mammals

1978
Mammals inhabit a wide range of environments and exhibit a variety of sensory adaptations for specialized ecological niches. The discussion in the following pages will be restricted to vision and audition. Since even these senses cannot be fully treated in the space available, attention will be focused on the sensory ecology of selected mammalian ...

Physical Constraints in Sensory Ecology

2001
A “big picture” of sensory ecology is developed. The logic of biological investigation and the meaning of behavior and information are briefly addressed along with the importance of information to organisms. Ties between sensory ecology and physiology and behavior are stressed.

Sensory ecologies on cycling infrastructure

2023
Mobility studies build on theories of ambiances to better take account, in their methodology, of the phenomenological and aesthetical dimensions (temporality, rhythms, materialities, sensitive and affective aspects of space and practices) at stake in the continual transformation processes of cycle practices, equipment and infrastructure.

Behavioral Ecology and Sensory Biology

1988
Zoologists use many different levels of analysis to study animals. Going from molecular to molar, these levels would include the neurochemical, neurophysiological, sensory biological, anatomical, behavioral, and ecological. Each of these represents part of the overall process of developing a full understanding of the structure, function, and evolution ...
