Sensory Ecology


Sensory ecology deals with how animals capture information from their environment, and the sensory systems involved in doing so. It aims to understand how animals perform various tasks during their lives, such as finding food and mates or avoiding predation. Sensory ecology covers a wide range of areas, from the neurobiology and physiology of sensory systems, through to animal behaviour and large-scale evolutionary processes.
