Please do not use two different definitions of information in the same thread. Please pick one or the other. If you choose information theory, then you must explain in what way information theory is receiving insufficient attention in evolutionary research. If you choose sensory input, then you must explain in what way sensory input is receiving insufficient attention in evolutionary research.
Sensory information can obviously be applied only to multicellular higher organisms with sensoral organs and neural system.
Information defined in a more technical sense we find in one cell organisms and that happens in Shapiro's work. But going from one cell to to higher organisms and from one type of information to the other, there is no difference as information remains basically the same, an ordered sequence of symbols.
It is not so much that information (both types) is not recieving adequate attention in research, as in accepting its significance in evolution for the known reasons; resistance to change and fear of giving arguments to IDs

Information: It is time its undeservedly neglectet powerful role to evolution to be restored.
