The studies described here present only static age structures (sensu Johnson et al. 1994).

Academic text (2002)
Recognizing that scale is important, how might ecological researchers apply the best available theory and empirical knowledge to design "scale-sensitive" (sensu Bissonette 1997) experiments?

The studies described here present only static age structures (sensu Johnson et al. 1994).

Etymology

The word sensu comes from the Latin root sensus, meaning 'sense', and is like the English word sense. In scientific names and descriptions it is used to mean 'in the sense of' a particular author, so sensu shows which person's definition you are using.
