研究领域

My research is driven by my fascination in the sensory ecology of aquatic animals. Animal behaviour such as communication, foraging and predator avoidance behaviour is mediated by sensory stimuli. I am particularly interested in chemo- and mechanoreception as these are the oldest and most common sensory modalities in aquatic animals. My research projects include the investigation of the physical and chemical nature of signals and cues, the analysis of communication and orientation behaviour and studies of the sensory abilities of aquatic animals. I am also interested in the evolution of communication signals. My recent approaches have focused on the mechanisms of chemical communication in crustaceans (lobsters and crayfish) and fish.
