Our senses are limited compared to some animals that see in the ultraviolet, communicate using electricity, or navigate vast distances with magnetic information. Stevens explores how other animals experience the world, how their senses were shaped by evolution, and the shocking impacts on wildlife of our bright lights and traffic noise.

Martin Stevens is Professor of Sensory and Evolutionary Ecology at the University of Exeter. His research has covered a wide range of areas, but much of his current work explores how animals change colour for camouflage, and how human impacts on the environment are affecting animal coloration and vision. He has authored over 120 scientific papers, two textbooks, and a popular science book on deception in nature Cheats and Deceits, (Oxford University Press, 2016). Stevens' work is frequently covered in the popular media, including by the New Scientist and the New York Times. He has appeared several times on radio and TV, such as on the BBC and on National Geographic, and has given a range of public lectures around the world.
