Route learning by insects
TS Collett, P Graham, V Durier - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2003 - Elsevier
Ants and other insects often follow fixed routes from their nest to a foraging site. The shape
of an ant's route is set, initially, by navigational strategies, such as path integration and the …

Landmarks or panoramas: what do navigating ants attend to for guidance?
Background Insects are known to rely on terrestrial landmarks for navigation. Landmarks are
used to chart a route or pinpoint a goal. The distant panorama, however, is often thought not …

[HTML][HTML] A snapshot-based mechanism for celestial orientation
In order to protect their food from competitors, ball-rolling dung beetles detach a piece of
dung from a pile, shape it into a ball, and roll it away along a straight path [1]. They appear to …

Visual scanning behaviours and their role in the navigation of the Australian desert ant Melophorus bagoti
Ants are excellent navigators, using a combination of innate strategies and learnt
information to guide habitual routes. The mechanisms underlying this behaviour are little …
