Summary:

Research on aquatic sensory processing -- the way animals see, hear, smell, taste, feel, and electrically and magnetically sense their environment -- has advanced a great deal over the last fifteen years. This book discusses the most recent and important themes that have emerged from research in the areas of neurobiology and sensory physiology. The layout of the book is arranged by function or task, rather than by a description of each sensory modality in turn. Part I, "Navigation and Communication," chiefly examines long-range sensory tasks, while "Finding Food and Other Localized Sources" (Part II) scales down to concentrate on more close-range processing. Part III, "Coevolution of Signal and Sense," describes the strong linkages between the physical parameters of the aquatic realm and the sensory receptors. Organisms living in light-limited environments have received a lot of recent attention, so Part IV gives special focus to visual adaptations in the deep sea. The final Part V, "Central Coordination and Evolution of Sensory Inputs," describes aspects of how signals are processed and filtered in the central nervous system. This book will be essential reading for all undergraduate and graduate students interested in aquatic biological sciences as well as for any researcher in sensory systems.
