Sensory Biology
Sensory systems must ultimately be understood at all the biological levels of analysis, from molecular events in cells to the behavioral repertoires of animals seen in the ecological conditions in which their kind evolved. Our currents lab project are focus in sensory ecology, especially in the visual system, from single photoreceptor recording, electroretinogram (ERG), slice of retina, patch-clamp (whole cell and perforate), and measure of the reflectance spectra, from animals and their microhabitat, that are likely to be used as signals in sexual selection, recognition of conspecifics, camouflage.
