The polar ice cap rapidly recedes; colonies of honeybees collapse
in alarming numbers; androgynous fish are detected in rivers and
streams. These reports not only describe recent events, but also
function as signs of an ominous and rapidly encroaching future. In
this issue of Limn we focus on how this future makes its appearance
in the present. Many of the threats we now find most
alarming-climate change, environmental radiation, emerging disease,
endocrine disrupters, toxic chemicals-are not immediately
perceptible to human senses. We rely on non-human indicators,
whether animals or detection devices, to alert us to their possible
onset. Such indicators can be thought of as sentinels, or heralds
of an approaching danger.
