Sensory biology: linking the internal and external ecologies of marine organisms
The sensory mode(s) that the Northern krill (Meganyctiphanes norvegica) uses to locate prey is central to interpretations and predictions of its feeding ecology. This, and several other fascinating case studies, demonstrate the importance of sensory ecology in linking the internal and external ecologies of marine organisms.
Inter-Research Science Publisher is pleased to make this Feature Article openly available for viewing by our readers.
