Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index "The book is divided into four parts: biosonar, biological compasses, electroreception, and the scents of attraction. Although it is filled with fascinating descriptions of animal sensitivities - the sonar system of a bat, for example, rivals that of the most sophisticated human-made devices - the author's goal is to explain the anatomical and physiological principles that underlie them. Knowledge of these mechanisms has practical applications in areas as diverse as marine navigation, biomedical sciences, and nontoxic pest control. It can also help us to obtain a deeper understanding of more familiar sensory systems and the brain in general."--Jacket Prologue: perceptions, misperceptions, and egocentrism -- I. Biosonar: echoes in the night -- The discovery -- The bat call -- Processing the echo -- The sonar receiver -- Variations on a theme: sonar beneath the seas -- A different kind of sonar transmitter: the dolphin call -- The dolphin's sonar receiver -- II. Biological compasses -- Maps, mobility, and the need for a compass -- Animal migration: a compass in the head? -- The search for the magnetoreceptor -- The sun compass of bees and ants -- III. Electroreception: an ancient sense -- The discovery of electroreception -- The electoreceptor -- The nature of electroreceptors -- The electric organ -- Electroreception in the social context: better living through electricity -- IV. The scents of attraction -- Chemical communication via pheromones -- Mammalian pheromones -- Human pheromones? |

MIT Press 1999 1 Online-Ressource (xi, 345 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Bradford Bks Includes bibliographical references and index "The book is divided into four parts: biosonar, biological compasses, electroreception, and the scents of attraction. Although it is filled with fascinating descriptions of animal sensitivities - the sonar system of a bat, for example, rivals that of the most sophisticated human-made devices - the author's goal is to explain the anatomical and physiological principles that underlie them. Knowledge of these mechanisms has practical applications in areas as diverse as marine navigation, biomedical sciences, and nontoxic pest control. It can also help us to obtain a deeper understanding of more familiar sensory systems and the brain in general."--Jacket Prologue: perceptions, misperceptions, and egocentrism -- I. Biosonar: echoes in the night -- The discovery -- The bat call -- Processing the echo -- The sonar receiver -- Variations on a theme: sonar beneath the seas -- A different kind of sonar transmitter: the dolphin call -- The dolphin's sonar receiver -- II. Biological compasses -- Maps, mobility, and the need for a compass -- Animal migration: a compass in the head? -- The search for the magnetoreceptor -- The sun compass of bees and ants -- III. Electroreception: an ancient sense -- The discovery of electroreception -- The electoreceptor -- The nature of electroreceptors -- The electric organ -- Electroreception in the social context: better living through electricity -- IV. The scents of attraction -- Chemical communication via pheromones -- Mammalian pheromones -- Human pheromones?
