Springer Sensory Biology of Aquatic Animals - Springer Scientific Reference

Sensory Biology of Aquatic Animals is a comprehensive scientific volume featuring invited chapters from an International Conference held in June 1985 at the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida. This authoritative work brings together leading investigators studying how aquatic animals perceive and respond to their environment through various sensory modalities. The book explores the diverse sensory systems employed by different animal species to extract critical information from aquatic ecosystems. By gathering specialists across multiple sensory disciplines-including vision, chemoreception, mechanoreception, and electroreception-this Springer publication provides essential insights into the sensory mechanisms that enable aquatic organisms to navigate, locate food, communicate, and survive in water. It remains a valuable reference for researchers, marine biologists, and students examining animal behaviour, neurobiology, and evolutionary adaptations in aquatic environments.
