spatial locations exemplify how cognitive abilities have evolved to suit a number of different …

A model of cue integration as vector summation in the insect brain
R Mitchell, S Shaverdian… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Ball-rolling dung beetles are known to integrate multiple cues in order to facilitate their
straight-line orientation behaviour. Recent work has suggested that orientation cues are …

Vector navigation in walking bumblebees
Path integration is a computational strategy that allows an animal to maintain an internal
estimate of its position relative to a point of origin. Many species use path integration to …

Mechanisms of spectral orientation in a diurnal dung beetle
Ball rolling dung beetles use a wide range of cues to steer themselves along a fixed bearing,
including the spectral gradient of scattered skylight that spans the sky. Here, we define the …

Polarisation vision in the dark: green-sensitive photoreceptors in the nocturnal ball-rolling dung beetle Escarabaeus satyrus
Many insects utilise the polarisation pattern of the sky to adjust their travelling directions. The
extraction of directional information from this sky-wide cue is mediated by specialised …
