Sensory Ecology, Behaviour, and Evolution by Martin Stevens
This is the first modern textbook of sensory ecology. It 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. The book also tackles mechanistic and functional questions, integrating theoretical and empirical work.
This book is an ambitious and successful attempt to integrate mechanistic and functional aspects of communication by the authors.. essential reading. * Tim Caro, The Quarterly Review of Biology *
