• abstract
  • Global expansion of human activities is associated with the introduction of novel stimuli, such as
    • anthropogenic noise,
    • artificial lights and
    • chemical agents.
  • Progress in documenting the ecological effects of sensory pollutants is weakened by sparse knowledge of the mechanisms underlying these effects.
  • This severely limits our capacity to devise mitigation measures.
  • Here,we integrate knowledge of animal
    • sensory ecology,
    • physiology and
    • life history
  • to articulate three perceptual mechanisms—
    • masking,
    • distracting and
    • misleading
  • that clearly explain how and why anthropogenic sensory pollutants impact organisms.
  • We then
    • link these three mechanisms to ecological consequences and
    • discuss their implications for conservation.
  • We argue that this framework can reveal the presence of ‘sensory danger zones’, hotspots of conservation concern
    • where sensory pollutants overlap in space and time with an organism’s activity, and
    • foster development of strategic interventions to mitigate the impact of sensory pollutants.
  • Future research that applies this framework will provide critical insight to preserve the natural sensory world.

  • The field of sensory ecology is based on studying the sensory systems of animals in order to understand
    • what they perceive in their environments and
    • how that is going to affect their interactions with that environment

-title: VARIABILITY IN SENSORY ECOLOGY: EXPANDING THE BRIDGEBETWEEN PHYSIOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY - author - Olivier Dangle, - Duncan Irschick, - Lars Chittka, - Jerome Casas - date: 2009

• abstract
  • Sensory organs represent the interface between
    • the central nervous system of organisms and
    • the environment in which they live.
  • To date, we still lack a true integration of
    • ecological and
    • evolutionary perspectives
  • in our understanding of many sensory systems.
  • We argue that scientists working in sensory ecology should expand the bridge between
    • sensory and
    • evolutionary biology, and,
  • in working toward this goal, we advocate a combination of
    • the experimental rigor of the sensory physiologist with
    • population-based as well as
    • evolutionary views
