Produktbeschreibung

Shark Electrosense explores the captivating sensory world of sharks, focusing on their remarkable ability to detect electrical fields through electroreception. This unique sense, facilitated by the ampullae of Lorenzini, allows sharks to locate hidden prey, navigate vast oceans, and interact with their environment in ways previously not fully understood. The book highlights how electroreception influences hunting strategies and predator-prey interactions, offering insights into the sensory ecology of these fascinating creatures.

The book begins with a historical overview of electroreception and then progresses to discuss the biological mechanisms that support this, before moving into the ecological significance of electrosense. Using varied sources, including anatomical studies and behavioral observations, the book reveals how this sense has shaped the evolution and behavior of elasmobranchs.

A dedicated chapter explores the potential for developing shark deterrents by exploiting their electrosensitivity. Ultimately, this book challenges traditional perceptions of shark sensory biology and underscores the importance of electroreception in understanding shark behavior and conservation.
