1. Route-segment odometry and its interactions with global path-integration

Author:
Collett, Thomas S.; Collett, Matthew
Source:
Journal of comparative physiology 2015 v.201 no.6 pp. 617-630
ISSN:

Subject:
Cataglyphis; desert insects; honey bees; nests
Abstract:
... Insects such as desert ants and honeybees use visual memories to travel along familiar routes between their nest and a food-site. We trained Cataglyphis fortis foragers along a two-segment route to investigate whether they encode the lengths of route segments over which visual cues remain approximately constant. Our results support earlier studies suggesting that such route-segment odometry exists ...

2. The memory structure of navigation in honeybees

Subject:
Apoidea; cognition; honey bees; memory; models
Abstract:
... 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 characterize components of navigation in a flying insect, the honeybee. However, navigation studies need to go beyond an analysis of behavioral routines to come up with a synthesis. We will defend the concept of an active memory ...

3. Where paths meet and cross: navigation by path integration in the desert ant and the honeybee

Author:
Srinivasan, Mandyam V.
Source:
Journal of comparative physiology 2015 v.201 no.6 pp. 533-546
ISSN:
0340-7594
Subject:
Apis mellifera; Cataglyphis; animals; honey bees
Abstract:
... Animals that travel large distances in search of food need to be equipped with navigation systems that are capable of keeping track of the distance and direction of travel throughout their outbound journey, so that they may return home expeditiously and without losing their way. The challenge of homing is especially acute when the environment is devoid of landmarks. Desert ants and honeybees are a ...
