sensory ecology
- Brief exposure to intense turbulence induces a sustained life-history shift in echinoids
Summary: Intense turbulence causes echinoid larvae to become suddenly and permanently responsive to chemical settlement cues in a situation reminiscent of long-term potentiation in learning and memory.
- Using on-board sound recordings to infer behaviour of free-moving wild animals
Summary: We review new possibilities for monitoring the behaviour of wild animals in the field using on-board audio recordings.
- Context dependency of in-flight responses by Manduca sexta moths to ambient differences in relative humidity
Summary: Manduca sexta hawkmoths orient toward currents of air with higher relative humidity during upwind flight in a wind tunnel, but floral sensory stimuli override this behavior.
- Differences in electrosensory anatomy and social behavior in an area of sympatry between two species of mormyrid electric fishes
Summary: Differences in the sensory system that mediates electric communication correlate with differences in social behavior between two sympatric species of African mormyrid fishes.
