商品描述
The book describes the theory of electromagnetic orientation in sharks and rays. The theory evolved from studying the publications of Faraday, von Arx, and Longuett-Higgins. Sharks and rays can detect the earth's magnetic field as well as the ambient electric fields, utilizing their electrosensory system, the Ampullae of Lorenzini. Dr. Kalmijn provides the physical description of this sensory system in the context of his previously published behavioral studies performed in the laboratory and in natural, open-ocean settings. The book lays bare the physics bedrock of the motional electric fields.
The physics of the entire sensory environment interacting with these very sensitive organs is made clear step by step so the reader can understand the source of the fields and how the animals detect them. Dr. Kalmijn analyzes the sensory organs from the perspective of the animal moving through these electric and magnetic fields to arrive at the appropriate relativistic frame to understand how the sensory system works. Relying on his thorough understanding of Maxwell, Faraday, and Einstein, he has sought to understand the miraculous abilities of Elasmobranchs.
The detailed presentation clears away many of the misunderstandings and mistakes of previous researchers. Nearly all the mistakes pertain to the underlying physics. The existing literature is discussed, put in context, and corrected.
This summary and final presentation of Dr. Kalmijn's life-time study of electromagnetic reception in Elasmobranchs will surely be recognized as the definitive treatise in years to come. It gives researchers and students in biology, physics, oceanography, and fisheries a detailed mathematical physics background for the understanding of electroreception in Elasmobranch fishes.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書描述了鯊魚和魟魚的電磁方向感知理論。該理論源於對法拉第（Faraday）、馮阿克斯（von Arx）和朗格特-希金斯（Longuett-Higgins）出版物的研究。鯊魚和魟魚能夠檢測地球的磁場以及周圍的電場，利用其電感知系統，即洛倫茲尼氏囊（Ampullae of Lorenzini）。卡爾邁因博士（Dr. Kalmijn）在其先前發表的行為研究中，提供了這一感官系統的物理描述，這些研究是在實驗室和自然開放海域環境中進行的。這本書揭示了運動電場的物理基礎。
整個感官環境與這些非常敏感的器官互動的物理過程逐步清晰化，使讀者能夠理解這些場的來源以及動物如何檢測它們。卡爾邁因博士從動物在這些電場和磁場中移動的角度分析感官器官，以達到理解感官系統運作的適當相對論框架。依賴於他對麥克斯韋（Maxwell）、法拉第和愛因斯坦（Einstein）的深入理解，他試圖理解軟骨魚類（Elasmobranchs）的神奇能力。
詳細的呈現消除了許多先前研究者的誤解和錯誤。幾乎所有的錯誤都與基礎物理有關。現有文獻被討論、置於背景中並進行修正。
這份總結和卡爾邁因博士一生對軟骨魚類電磁接收的研究的最終呈現，必將在未來幾年被認可為權威論文。它為生物學、物理學、海洋學和漁業的研究者和學生提供了理解軟骨魚類電感知的詳細數學物理背景。
作者簡介
Dr. Adrianus J. Kalmijn had a life-long interest in the sensory detection of electric, magnetic, hydrodynamic and low frequency acoustic fields, the physics of the stimulus fields in the aquatic environment, and the relevance for the recipient animals.
Dr. Kalmijn studied Physics and Biology at the University of Utrecht, where he also received his PhD under Dr. Sven Dijkgraaf. In 1970 he left for the USA and spent two years as a visiting scientist in the laboratory of Dr. Theodore Bullock at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He continued his research at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, performed the open-ocean experiments on prey detection by blue sharks and successfully trained stingrays to orient to electric and magnetic fields. In 1983, he returned to Scripps to continue his research on electromagnetic orientation in a unique Electromagnetic Facility, he designed. He was actively working on his research and publications until December 2021.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
阿德里安努斯·J·卡爾邁因博士對於電場、磁場、水動力學場及低頻聲場的感官檢測、刺激場在水生環境中的物理特性，以及這些對接收動物的相關性，始終保持著濃厚的興趣。
卡爾邁因博士在烏特勒支大學學習物理學和生物學，並在斯文·迪克格拉夫博士的指導下獲得博士學位。1970年，他前往美國，在斯克里普斯海洋研究所的西奧多·布洛克博士實驗室擔任訪問科學家，待了兩年。他在伍茲霍爾海洋研究所繼續他的研究，進行了藍鯊對獵物檢測的開放海洋實驗，並成功訓練了黃貂魚對電場和磁場進行定向。1983年，他回到斯克里普斯，繼續在他設計的獨特電磁設施中進行電磁定向的研究。他一直積極從事研究和發表論文，直到2021年12月。
