Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on sensory biology, neural processing, and behavior across a range of animal species. Studies investigate sensory perception, including visual, auditory, and electric field detection, and their neural underpinnings. Behavioral adaptations, such as mating calls, foraging, navigation, and responses to predators and environmental factors, are also examined.
