These show the similarities in the molecular architecture and in the physiology of sensory cells across species and across sensory modality and often indicate a common ancestry dating back over half a billion years. . Biology of Sensory Systems  has thus been completely revised and takes a molecular, evolutionary and comparative approach, providing an overview of sensory systems in vertebrates, invertebrates and prokaryot 606 $aSenses and sensation 606 $aBiology 615 0$aSenses and sensation. 615 0$aBiology. 676 $a612.8 676 $a573.87 700 $aSmith$b C.
