ABSTRACT A basic set of navigation strategies supports navigational tasks ranging from
homing to novel detours and shortcuts. To perform these last two tasks, it is generally …

The nocturnal Bogong moth (Agrotis infusa) is an iconic and well-known Australian insect
that is also a remarkable nocturnal navigator. Like the Monarch butterflies of North America …

What do infants know? How does the knowledge that they begin with prepare them for
learning about the particular physical, cultural, and social world in which they live? Answers …

Humans and other animals build up spatial knowledge of the environment on the basis of
visual information and path integration. We compare three hypotheses about the geometry …

Ants, like many other animals, use visual memory to follow extended routes through complex
environments, but it is unknown how their small brains implement this capability. The …

Decades of research into intelligent animal navigation posits that organisms build and
maintain internal spatial representations (or maps) 1 of their environment, that enables the …

Thoroughly updated for its third edition with the latest research in the field, this innovative
text delivers an apt and comprehensive introduction to the rich and complex world of animal …

The analytical approach to navigation studies aims to identify elementary sensory motor
processes that guide an animal to a remote site. This approach will be used here to …

Solitary foraging insects display stunning navigational behaviours in visually complex
natural environments. Current literature assumes that these insects are mostly driven by …

Insect navigation is strikingly geometric. Many species use path integration to maintain an
accurate estimate of their distance and direction (a vector) to their nest and can store the …
