  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Flying Drosophila maintain arbitrary but stable headings relative to the angle of polarized light
    Timothy L. Warren, Peter T. Weir, Michael H. Dickinson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 : jeb.177550 doi: 10.1242/jeb.177550 Published 28 March 2018
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The interaction of path integration and terrestrial visual cues in navigating desert ants: what can we learn from path characteristics?
    Cornelia Buehlmann, A. Sofia D. Fernandes, Paul Graham
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb167304 doi: 10.1242/jeb.167304 Published 8 January 2018

    Summary: Large-scale path recordings combined with high-speed recordings at key locations suggest that path integration modulates speed along the homing path in desert ants.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Homing pigeons (Columba livia) modulate wingbeat characteristics as a function of route familiarity
    Lucy A. Taylor, Steven J. Portugal, Dora Biro
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2908-2915; doi: 10.1242/jeb.154039

    Highlighted Article: Onboard accelerometry reveals that pigeons' flight characteristics undergo gradual changes over the course of learning a route, and thus provide potential biomechanical signatures of birds' landscape familiarity.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Honeybees use the skyline in orientation
    William F. Towne, Antoinette E. Ritrovato, Antonina Esposto, Duncan F. Brown
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2476-2485; doi: 10.1242/jeb.160002

    Summary: Honeybees can orient using the skyline, the panoramic silhouette of terrestrial objects against the sky, an ability probably important to bees in their everyday navigation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The Ol1mpiad: concordance of behavioural faculties of stage 1 and stage 3 Drosophila larvae
    Maria J. Almeida-Carvalho, Dimitri Berh, Andreas Braun, Yi-chun Chen, Katharina Eichler, Claire Eschbach, Pauline M. J. Fritsch, Bertram Gerber, Nina Hoyer, Xiaoyi Jiang, Jörg Kleber, Christian Klämbt, Christian König, Matthieu Louis, Birgit Michels, Anton Miroschnikow, Christen Mirth, Daisuke Miura, Thomas Niewalda, Nils Otto, Emmanouil Paisios, Michael J. Pankratz, Meike Petersen, Noel Ramsperger, Nadine Randel, Benjamin Risse, Timo Saumweber, Philipp Schlegel, Michael Schleyer, Peter Soba, Simon G. Sprecher, Teiichi Tanimura, Andreas S. Thum, Naoko Toshima, Jim W. Truman, Ayse Yarali, Marta Zlatic
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2452-2475; doi: 10.1242/jeb.156646

    Summary: A community-based survey of the behavioural faculties of stage 1 Drosophila larvae, providing a resource for relating these behavioural faculties to the upcoming connectome of their nervous system.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Propulsion in hexapod locomotion: how do desert ants traverse slopes?
    Toni Wöhrl, Lars Reinhardt, Reinhard Blickhan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1618-1625; doi: 10.1242/jeb.137505

    Summary: Analysis of the alternating tripod gait of desert ants together with ground reaction forces and weight-specific leg impulses during inclined locomotion reveals the mechanical function of the hind legs as the main brake on downslopes (–60 and –30 deg) and the front legs as the main motor on steep upslopes (+60 deg).

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Male bumblebees perform learning flights on leaving a flower but not when leaving their nest
    Théo Robert, Elisa Frasnelli, Thomas S. Collett, Natalie Hempel de Ibarra
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 930-937; doi: 10.1242/jeb.151126

    Summary: Bumblebee males leave their nest directly, but they perform learning flights when they leave artificial flowers, during which they turn back and fixate the flowers.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Importance of the antenniform legs, but not vision, for homing by the neotropical whip spider Paraphrynus laevifrons
    Verner P. Bingman, Jacob M. Graving, Eileen A. Hebets, Daniel D. Wiegmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 885-890; doi: 10.1242/jeb.149823

    Summary: Tropical amblypygids inhabit structurally complex habitats, yet navigate home in the dark after a night hunting prey; olfaction appears to be important for navigation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Ontogeny of learning walks and the acquisition of landmark information in desert ants, Cataglyphis fortis
    Pauline N. Fleischmann, Marcelo Christian, Valentin L. Müller, Wolfgang Rössler, Rüdiger Wehner
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3137-3145; doi: 10.1242/jeb.140459

    Summary: When leaving their nest for the first time, Cataglyphis fortis ants perform a sequence of learning walks during which they learn the surrounding landmark panorama with increasing accuracy.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Pigeon navigation: exposure to environmental odours prior to release is sufficient for homeward orientation, but not for homing
    Anna Gagliardo, Enrica Pollonara, Martin Wikelski
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2475-2480; doi: 10.1242/jeb.140889

    Summary: Environmental local odours perceived at the release site are sufficient for pigeons’ homeward orientation, but pigeons can successfully home only if they can rely on olfactory cues during flight beyond the release site.
