SUMMARY:Leopoldina-Symposium "Flow sensing in air and water"
DESCRIPTION:Wissenschaftliche Vorbereitung: Horst Bleckmann ML (Bonn) Flow 
 is an important stimulus in the everyday life of aquatic organisms, includi
 ng marine mammals, fish, and invertebrates, and many  terrestrial animals, 
 including especially insects, spiders and birds. Flow  fields are used for 
 communicating, navigating, seeking out prey and avoiding predators. Animals
  must also monitor ambient wind and water currents in order to stabilize th
 eir movements in unstable flow fields. Previous meetings on flow sensing we
 re held in 1966 (New York) and 1987 (Bielefeld). At these meetings, the foc
 us was on flow sensing with the lateral line. Due to the development of man
 y new techniques, research on the lateral line and other flow sensing syste
 ms has progressed on all fronts, including neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, b
 iomechanics, neuronal modelling, and genetics. Moreover, commonalities and 
 differences between flow sensing systems in aquatic and terrestric animals 
 have begun to emerge. We therefore want to bring together in our meeting re
 searchers studying the sensing of flow, whether air or water. The meeting w
 ill consist of plenary lectures, short talks, posters, discussions, and eno
 ugh time for informal interaction among colleagues with an interest in flow
  sensing.   The main goals of this congress are  \n\n to draw together new 
 knowledge on the importance of flow fields to  animals and how  they use an
 d process flow informationto define the current state of knowledge on flow 
 sensing by invertebrates and vertebrates in both air and water in order to 
 identify common themes and operational principles across systems  to bring 
 together researchers studying flow sensing in a wide  variety of aquatic an
 d terrestrial animals  to bring together scientists interested in flow from
  several  different perspectives like sensory biology,neuroethology,  compu
 tational neurobiology and biomechanical engineering.
