- Path integration error and adaptable search behaviors in a mantis shrimp
Summary: Mantis shrimp use path integration, an error-prone navigational strategy, when traveling home. When path integration fails, mantis shrimp employ a stereotyped yet flexible search pattern to locate their homes.
- Route-following ants respond to alterations of the view sequence
Summary: There is a sequence component to route memories in ants, as ants show signs of navigational uncertainty when the familiar sequence of views is suddenly altered.
- Spatial orientation based on multiple visual cues in non-migratory monarch butterflies
Summary: Non-migrating butterflies keep directed courses when viewing a simulated sun or panoramic scene. This suggests that they orient based on multiple visual cues independent of their migratory context.
- Magnetoreception in fishes: the effect of magnetic pulses on orientation of juvenile Pacific salmon
Summary: A magnetic pulse alters the orientation of Pacific salmon, suggesting that the magnetic sense of fish might depend on particles of magnetite.
- Route learning during tandem running in the rock ant Temnothorax albipennis
Summary: Tandem run followers of Temnothorax ants learn specific routes from their leaders.
- Optic and echo-acoustic flow interact in bats
Summary: Flying bats respond to both optic and echo-acoustic flow and rely on a weighted integration of the two cues for manoeuvring in light and dark environments.
- Navigation and the developing brain
Summary: Spatial development in humans takes a decade or more to unfold, and involves tuning initial systems in response to changing motor capacities and environmental feedback.
- The insect central complex and the neural basis of navigational strategies
Summary: Neural circuits of the insect central complex are involved in guiding multiple navigation strategies, and the emerging core circuit for navigational decisions might provide an overarching framework of central-complex function.
- The internal maps of insects
Summary: Insect behaviour can be explained as a combination of path integration, vector memory and view memory, but what is the evidence that these geometric capabilities form an integrated map?
