Electricity, the interaction between electrically charged objects, is widely known to be
fundamental to the functioning of living systems. However, this appreciation has largely …

'Accounting for the sensory abilities of animals is critical in experimental design.'No
researcher would disagree with this statement, yet it is often the case that we inadvertently …

Predators and prey benefit from detecting sensory cues of each other's presence. As they
move through their environment, terrestrial animals accumulate electrostatic charge …

Most terrestrial animals naturally accumulate electrostatic charges, meaning that they will
generate electric forces that interact with other charges in their environment, including those …

Animals, most notably insects, generally seem to accumulate electrostatic charge in nature.
These electrostatic charges will exert forces on other charges in these animals' …

Electric fields in terrestrial environments are used by caterpillars to detect their predators, as
foraging cues by pollinators, and facilitate ballooning by spiders. This study shows that …

The use of agrochemicals is increasingly recognized as interfering with pollination services
due to its detrimental effects on pollinators. Compared to the relatively well-studied chemical …

Interactions between different animal species are a critical determinant of each species'
evolution and range expansion. Chemical, visual, and mechanical interactions have been …

Pollination biology is anchored in natural history studies, defined broadly as the practice of
observing and describing an organism's behaviour, interactions, and association with the …

With increasing evidence of electroreception in terrestrial arthropods, an understanding of
receptor level processes is vital to appreciating the capabilities and limits of this sense …
