Symposium on Sensory Abilities of Cataceans, for the Fifth International Theriological Congress, Rome, Italy, August 1989.

为期三天的会议将汇集一个不同的群体， 国际科学家讨论和评估最新进展 了解海豚和鲸鱼的感觉系统。 这些动物具有非凡的能力和感官适应能力 用于感官辨别、回声定位、交流和 导航，他们的认知能力可能相当先进。 本次研讨会将与国际 治疗学大会，涉及哺乳动物的各个方面， 科学，提供了一个异常广泛的观众。 的广泛 苏联科学家参加这次研讨会， 提供新的互动水平，并促进更强大的 研究鲸目动物的科学家全球网络。 结果 会议将发表，并将有一个广泛的 对科学家的感官系统、行为、动物 认知、海洋生物学和生态学;它可能会对 全球保护运动也是如此，因为这些动物 已经成为一种流行的象征。

This three-day conference will bring together a diverse group of international scientists to discuss and evaluate recent advances in understanding the sensory systems of dolphins and whales. These animals have remarkable abilities and sensory adaptations for sensory discriminations, echolocation, communication and navigation, and their cognitive abilities may be quite advanced. This symposium will be associated with the International Theriological Congress, which deals with all aspects of mammalian science, providing an unusually broad audience. The extensive participation of Soviet scientists at this symposium should provide new levels of interaction and facilitate a stronger global network of scientists working on cetaceans. The results of the symposium will be published, and should have a broad impact on scientists of sensory systems, behavior, animal cognition, marine biology, and ecology; it may have an impact on the global conservation movement as well, since these animals have become a popular symbol.
