Ecology of Sensing

"Ecology of Sensing" is a specialized book that explores the role of sensory organs as biological interfaces between organisms and their environment. It highlights the close relationship between sensory systems and ecological aspects that are fundamental to understanding animal behavior. In a total of sixteen chapters, the book presents the diversity of constraints and opportunities associated with the perception of stimuli that represent different forms of energy. It places particular emphasis on the events occurring in the sensory periphery, where animals interact with their natural habitat and acquire the information they need to organize their interactions with the environment. "Ecology of Sensing" brings together leading experts in the field and offers valuable insights into the complex relationships between sensory perception and ecological conditions.
