Sensory Ecology of Ostariophysan Alarm Substances
Journal of Fish Biology, 2018 Chemical communication of predation risk has evolved multiple times in fish species, with the conspecific alarm substance (CAS) contemporaneously being the most well understood mechanism. CAS is released after epithelial damage, usually when prey fish is captured by a predator, and elicits neurobehavioral adjustments in conspecifics which increase the ...

Kamya Patel: Plastic ingestion - a sensory ecology approach
, 2022 Currently, there is a research gap connecting the relationship between sensory ecology and plastic ingestion. This study explores the relationship between foraging modes, sensory investments, and the characteristics of ingested plastics by gannets ...

The American Biology Teacher, 2016 As visual creatures, humans sometimes have difficulty understanding how other organisms encounter their environments through nonvisual means. Many organisms rely predominantly or exclusively on senses other than sight, including olfaction, chemoreception, and thermoreception.

Zambian Mole-Rats: 33 Years on the Scene and What We Still Do Not Know and How We Could Learn It
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 This article surveys more than three decades of research on Zambian mole-rats (genus Fukomys, Bathyergidae), pointing out some unanswered questions and untested hypotheses and suggesting approaches to address them.

Studying the behaviour and sensory ecology of marine mammals using acoustic recording tags : a review [PDF]
, 2013 Many marine animals use sound passively or actively for communication, foraging, predator avoidance, navigation, and to sense their environment. The advent of acoustic recording tags has allowed biologists to get the on-animal perspective of the sonic ...

Frontiers in Marine ScienceCommon bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are among non-human mammals that possess the ability for vocal production learning, which strongly depends on learning from conspecifics. The hearing sensitivity and acoustic signals of a 4-year-old captive-

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Predator-prey interactions and, especially, the success of anti-predator responses are modulated by the sensory channels of vision, olfaction, audition and mechanosensation.

The Sensory and Cognitive Ecology of Nectar Robbing
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Animals foraging from flowers must assess their environment and make critical decisions about which patches, plants, and flowers to exploit to obtain limiting resources. The cognitive ecology of plant-pollinator interactions explores not only the complex

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This
