  abstract: This modern textbook of sensory ecology provides an introduction to the key ideas, theories, and examples, describes how sensory systems work, and explores the links between the senses, animal signals, behaviour, and evolution. It also tackles mechanistic and functional questions, integrating theoretical and empirical work.
