Controversies surrounding the name and how the electronics nose (e-nose) works have been at the center stage since the advent of the technology. Notwithstanding the controversies, the technology has gained popularity in the sensory analysis of dairy foods, because of its rapid results delivery on...

Good animal welfare is not only defined by the absence of stress indicators, but also by the presence of parameter indicating a good welfare. This prevents stress-related disorders. To determine animal welfare in horses it was evaluated whether sensory laterality (biased use of sensory organs) and...

In dogs, vibrissae are common in all breeds, with a few exceptions such as in some hairless dogs. This article highlights the functional properties of whiskers in dogs.

Metriorhynchoid thalattosuchians were a marine clade of Mesozoic crocodylomorphs that evolved from semi-aquatic, "gharial"-like species into the obligately pelagic subclade Metriorhynchidae. To explore whether the sensory and physiological demands of underwater life necessitates a shift in rostral...

Knowledge on crocodyliform paleoneurology has significantly improved with development of computed tomography. However, studies so far have been able to reconstruct brain endocasts based only on single specimens for each taxon. Here for the first time, we reconstructed brain endocasts for multiple...

Informatization is an inevitable trend of livestock breeding industry development. The effective monitoring of environmental and growth information in the breeding process is helpful to realizing the production process with low cost, high efficiency, and comfortable income. In commercial farms, the ...

This paper seeks to expand traditional aesthetic dimensions of design beyond the limits of human capability in order to encompass other species' sensory modalities. To accomplish this, the idea of inclusivity is extended beyond human cultural and personal identities and needs, to embrace...

Sensitivity to the earth's magnetic field is the least understood of the major sensory systems, despite being virtually ubiquitous in animals and of widespread interest to investigators in a wide range of fields from behavioral ecology to quantum physics. Although research on the use of magnetic...
