- W4377029962 abstract "Abstract Carnivorans exhibit sensory abilities that vary by modality and reflect the special challenges of living as they do. Pinnipeds use the vibrissae to locate underwater prey without inputs from other modalities, following turbulence wakes left by fish. The chemical senses comprise taste reception, nasal olfactory reception, and the vomeronasal organ system. Carnivorans are less sensitive to saltiness than herbivorous mammals because their animal foods provide ample minerals. Several highly carnivorous lineages have lost their senses of sweetness (mono- and disaccharides), while the folivorous pandas and pinnipeds have lost the umami sense for amino acids. The nasal olfactory sense tends to be more acute in lineages with long skull rostra, which provides more space for the turbinate bones that support the nasal olfactory receptors. Such species also tend to have many functional olfactory receptor genes. The vomeronasal organ functions in intraspecific communication and recognition and is developed variably across the order. As a group, carnivorans have the widest range of frequencies they can sense of any mammalian group, primarily because of their great variation in body size. Visual ability reflects acuity, sensitivity under low light, spectral quality, and stereopsis; carnivorans have abilities similar to or greater than those of other taxa. Pinnipeds, especially deep divers, face special sensory challenges related to living in water and air environments. Carnivorans brains (adjusted for body size) are larger than those of most mammalian groups and vary markedly across carnivoran families. Evidence shows correlation between the size of some brain regions and their putative functions." @default.
