The Representation of Hydrodynamic Parameters in the CNS of the Crayfish Procambarus

  • Conference paper
Sensory Biology of Aquatic Animals

Abstract

The sensory pathways of the nervous system form the “window” that provides organisms with essential information about events in their environment. From extensive studies of intraspecific communication systems in insects (for a comparative review see Huber 1983), it seems that these pathways are molded by natural selection to match as closely as possible the properties of the most relevant signals to be received, such as the species-specific mating call.
