Acoustic noise and altered air and water flow regimes cause vibrissal shaft oscillations and may have the capacity to mask critical stimuli such as prey signals.

Quoted textsource-backed
Acoustic noise and altered air and water flow regimes will cause vibrissal shaft oscillations and may even have the capacity to mask critical stimuli, such as prey signals, although this has not yet been studied.

Vibrissal sensing is robust to environmental change in some contexts, such as being able to regulate warm temperatures.

Quoted textsource-backed
Despite evidence of vibrissal sensing being robust to environmental change in some contexts, such as being able to regulate warm temperatures, many environmental impacts remain poorly understood.
