There has been rapid increase of interest in the role that information acquisition plays in
ecological process and in shaping life histories and their evolution. Compared to auditory …

The striking structural variation seen in arthropod visual systems can be explained by the
overall quantity and spatio-temporal structure of light within habitats coupled with …

Environmental gradients consist of sequential changes in the physical and structural
characteristics of a region. These allow us to follow species responses and tolerances under …
