The binding of visual patterns in bumblebees
Bees navigating between their nests and foraging sites rely on their ability to learn and to recall many complex visual patterns [1-4]. How are the elements that make up one of these patterns bound together so that the whole pattern can be recalled when it is required? Consider the sentence: 'Dons nod off.' The words in it can be distinguished by the pattern of elements or letters that they con...
متن کاملBumblebees Learn Polarization Patterns
Foraging insect pollinators such as bees must find and identify flowers in a complex visual environment. Bees use skylight polarization patterns for navigation, a capacity mediated by the polarization-sensitive dorsal rim area (DRA) of their eye. While other insects use polarization sensitivity to identify appropriate habitats, oviposition sites, and food sources, to date no nonnavigational fun...
متن کاملBumblebees can discriminate between scent-marks deposited by conspecifics
Bumblebees secrete a substance from their tarsi wherever they land, which can be detected by conspecifics. These secretions are referred to as scent-marks, which bumblebees are able to use as social cues. Although it has been found that bumblebees can detect and associate scent-marks with rewarding or unrewarding flowers, their ability at discriminating between scent-marks from bumblebees of di...
متن کاملAnimating Persian Floral Patterns
In this paper we describe Persian floral patterns and explore techniques for animating them. We present several approaches for this dynamic recreation: visualizing pattern symmetries, illustrating their design process, and simulating plant growth. For creating a pleasant illusion of a never-ending movie, we also explore an infinitely cycling effect for self-similar patterns. The construction of...
متن کاملEvolutionary Models corresponding to Complex Patterns
Background and Motivation. Signal description is done quite differently in single genomes and in multiple genomes. In single genomes very complex models are often designed to describe the common features of a set of patterns, where these patterns are evolutionary unrelated and assumed to be independent instances from the same underlying distribution. Major classes of techniques are i. Position ...
