Eye movements and target Wxation during dragonXy prey-interception Xights
The capture of Xying insects by foraging dragonXies is a highly accurate, visually guided behavior. Rather than simply aiming at the prey’s position, the dragonXy aims at a point in front of the prey, so that the prey is intercepted with a relatively straight Xight trajectory. To better understand the neural mechanisms underlying this behavior, we used high-speed video to quantify the head and ...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms underlying target detection in a dragonfly centrifugal neuron.
Visual identification of targets is an important task for many animals searching for prey or conspecifics. Dragonflies utilize specialized optics in the dorsal acute zone, accompanied by higher-order visual neurons in the lobula complex, and descending neural pathways tuned to the motion of small targets. While recent studies describe the physiology of insect small target motion detector (STMD)...
متن کاملThe discerning predator: decision rules underlying prey classification by a mosquito-eating jumping spider.
Evarcha culicivora is an East African jumping spider that feeds indirectly on vertebrate blood by choosing blood-fed female Anopheles mosquitoes as prey. Previous studies have shown that this predator can identify its preferred prey even when restricted to using only visual cues. Here, we used lures and virtual mosquitoes to investigate the optical cues underlying this predator's prey-choice be...
متن کاملHeuristic Rules for Visualization
In recent years there has been increased interest in heuristic methods in artificial intelligence. By and large heuristic research has been used w i th two modes of thought: mathematics and language (language being the vehicle for scient i fic research and search strategies). This paper focuses on another mode of th inking v isualization. The process is not to analysize visual perception as in ...
متن کاملHeuristic Rules , Bounding and State Space Reduction
An alternative approach towards dynamic programming (DP) is presented: Recursions. A basic deterministic model and solution function are defined and the model is generalized to include stochastic processes, with the traditional stochastic DP model as a special case. Heuristic rules are included in the models simply as restrictions on decision spaces and a small slaughter pig marketing planning ...
