Studies of signal production and detection are complicated by the diverse modalities used by animals, constraints of human signal perception, and limitations of a controlled laboratory environment. These complications can be addressed by creative approaches to studying anatomical adaptations for signal production and detection, innovative technology, and careful studies of signal production and detection in the field. These solutions should overcome the perceptual limitations of researchers as they explore Umwelten in other species.
动物使用的多种信号方式、人类信号感知的局限性以及受控实验室环境的限制，使得信号产生与检测的研究变得复杂。可以通过创造性的方法来研究用于信号产生和检测的解剖学适应性、创新技术以及在野外对信号产生和检测进行细致研究，来解决这些复杂问题。当研究人员探索其他物种的 Umwelt 时，这些解决方案应能克服他们的感知局限。
