1 Introduction Sensory ecology deals with how animals capture in- formation from their environment, and the sensory systems involved in doing so （Hailman, 1977; Lythgoe, 1979; Dusenbery, 1992; Mappes and Stevens 2010）. Although the term sensory ecology itself is comparatively recent, its basis has a long history, in part due to numerous links with subjects such as neurobiology, physiology, ethology, and evolutionary behavioral ecology. Studies of sensory ecology have also more recently incorporated other new techniques, such as those of molecular biology and phylogenetics.
