Habitat-specific cues play an important role in orientation for animals that move through a mosaic of habitats. Environmental cues can be imprinted upon during early life stages to guide later return to adult habitats, yet many species must orient toward suitable habitats without previous experience of the habitat. It is hypothesized that multiple sensory cues may enable animals to differentiate between habitats in a sequential order relevant to the spatial scales over which the different types of information are conveyed, but previous research, especially for marine organisms, has mainly focused on the use of single cues in isolation. In this study, we investigated novel habitat selection through the use of three different sensory modalities (hearing, vision, and olfaction). Our model species, the French grunt, Haemulon flavolineatum, is a mangrove/seagrass-associated reef fish species that makes several habitat transitions during early life. Using several in situ and ex situ experiments, we tested the response of fish toward auditory, olfactory, and visual cues from four different habitats (seagrass beds, mangroves, rubble, and coral reef). We identified receptivity to multiple sensory cues during the same life phase, and found that different cues induced different reactions toward the same habitat. For example, early-juvenile fish only responded to sound from coral reefs and to chemical cues from mangroves/seagrass beds, while visual cues of conspecifics overruled olfactory cues from mangrove/seagrass water. Mapping these preferences to the ecology of ontogenetic movements, our results suggest sequential cue use would indeed aid successful orientation to novel key habitats in early life. 相似文献

Ears evolved in many groups of moths to detect the echolocation calls of predatory bats. Although the neurophysiology of bat
detection has been intensively studied in moths for decades, the relationship between sound-induced movement of the noctuid
tympanic membrane and action potentials in the auditory sensory cells (A1 and A2) has received little attention. Using laser
Doppler vibrometry, we measured the velocity and displacement of the tympanum in response to pure tone pulses for moths that
were intact or prepared for neural recording. When recording from the auditory nerve, the displacement of the tympanum at
the neural threshold remained constant across frequencies, whereas velocity varied with frequency. This suggests that the
key biophysical parameter for triggering action potentials in the sensory cells of noctuid moths is tympanum displacement,
not velocity. The validity of studies on the neurophysiology of moth hearing rests on the assumption that the dissection and
recording procedures do not affect the biomechanics of the ear. There were no consistent differences in tympanal velocity
or displacement when moths were intact or prepared for neural recordings for sound levels close to neural threshold, indicating
that this and other neurophysiological studies provide good estimates of what intact moths hear at threshold. 相似文献
