Research on sensory processing or 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 important themes that have emerged from recent research and provides a summary of likely future directions. The book starts with two sections on the detection of sensory signals over long and short ranges by aquatic animals, covering the topics of navigation, communication, and finding food and other localized sources. The next section, the co-evolution of signal and sense,...

Over the last decade, polarised light and its use in nature has grown to take on a prominent role in visual neuroscience. This book covers many of the advances made since the 2004 Springer volume Polarised Light in Animal Vision edited by Horvath and Varju, but also provides reviews and synopses of some areas. With each chapter written by experts in the relavant field, the book is intended for anyone interested in animal vision, environmental optics, polarized light and polarization sensitivity.
The book is divided into three sections. Part I examines polarization sensitivity...
