orientation

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Sky radiance and spectral gradient are orienting cues for the sandhopper Talitrus saltator (Crustacea, Amphipoda)
    A. Ciofini, L. Mercatelli, T. Hariyama, A. Ugolini
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 : jeb.239574 doi: 10.1242/jeb.239574 Published 16 December 2020
  • COMMENTARY
    Animal navigation: a noisy magnetic sense?
    Sönke Johnsen, Kenneth J. Lohmann, Eric. J. Warrant
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb164921 doi: 10.1242/jeb.164921 Published 23 September 2020

    Summary: Magnetic orientation responses in animals are often weak and difficult to elicit experimentally. A possible explanation is that the magnetic compass is ‘noisy’ and cannot acquire precise magnetic information over short time periods.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Path integration error and adaptable search behaviors in a mantis shrimp
    Rickesh N. Patel, Thomas W. Cronin
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb224618 doi: 10.1242/jeb.224618 Published 22 July 2020

    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.

  • COMMENTARY
    Connecting brain to behaviour: a role for general purpose steering circuits in insect orientation?
    Fabian Steinbeck, Andrea Adden, Paul Graham
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb212332 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212332 Published 11 March 2020

    Summary: We describe how a highly conserved insect brain region may play a general role in a wide variety of insect orientation behaviours.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Panorama similarity and navigational knowledge in the nocturnal bull ant Myrmecia midas
    Cody A. Freas, Ken Cheng
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb193201 doi: 10.1242/jeb.193201 Published 4 June 2019

    Summary: Myrmecia midas show navigational performance differences based on foraging experience. Differences in navigational success correspond with the degree of similarity between the panorama at release locations and panoramas at known locations.

  • REVIEW
    There and back again: natal homing by magnetic navigation in sea turtles and salmon
    Kenneth J. Lohmann, Catherine M. F. Lohmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb184077 doi: 10.1242/jeb.184077 Published 6 February 2019

    Summary: New findings indicate that long-distance natal homing in salmon and sea turtles involves an ability to navigate back to the magnetic signature of the home area.

  • REVIEW
    Behavioural and neuronal basis of olfactory imprinting and kin recognition in larval fish
    Gabriele Gerlach, Kristin Tietje, Daniela Biechl, Iori Namekawa, Gregor Schalm, Astrid Sulmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb189746 doi: 10.1242/jeb.189746 Published 6 February 2019

    Summary: This Review focuses on olfactory imprinting processes that numerous species use to recognize kin or their natal environment later in life.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Evidence for a southward autumn migration of nocturnal noctuid moths in central Europe
    David Dreyer, Basil el Jundi, Dmitry Kishkinev, Carina Suchentrunk, Lena Campostrini, Barrie J. Frost, Thomas Zechmeister, Eric J. Warrant
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb179218 doi: 10.1242/jeb.179218 Published 14 December 2018

    Summary: During autumn in central Europe, red underwing and large yellow underwing moths make a southward oriented nocturnal migration, although on foggy evenings, the latter species becomes disoriented.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Evidence for spatial vision in Chiton tuberculatus, a chiton with eyespots
    Alexandra C. N. Kingston, Daniel R. Chappell, Daniel I. Speiser
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb183632 doi: 10.1242/jeb.183632 Published 1 October 2018

    Summary: Certain chitons have hundreds to thousands of eyespots (∼35 µm) distributed across their shell plates; these eyespots are associated with spatial vision.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Time-optimized path choice in the termite-hunting ant Megaponera analis
    Erik T. Frank, Philipp O. Hönle, K. Eduard Linsenmair
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb174854 doi: 10.1242/jeb.174854 Published 1 July 2018

    Summary: Individual scouts of a termite-hunting ant species are capable of walking the fastest path to a food source rather than the shortest.
