To date, we still lack a true integration of ecological and evolutionary perspectives in our understanding of many sensory systems. We argue that scientists working in sensory ecology should expand the bridge between sensory and evolutionary biology, and, in working toward this goal, we advocate a combination of the experimental rigor of the sensory physiologist with population-based as well as evolutionary views. specialized sensory ecology phylogeny ontogeny populations environmental changes field experiments adaptation invertebrates vertebrates 020 84 1 51-74 2009 0033-5770 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010080113 10.1086/596463 0033-5770 [F B010080113] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010080113 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers21-02/010080113.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2009-04-08 2021-03-11 fdi:010080113 fre
