Maze navigation by honeybees: learning path regularity.
We investigated the ability of honeybees to learn mazes of four types: constant-turn mazes, in which the appropriate turn is always in the same direction in each decision chamber; zig-zag mazes, in which the appropriate turn is alternately left and right in successive decision chambers; irregular mazes, in which there is no readily apparent pattern to the turns; and variable irregular mazes, in...
متن کاملNavigation and Communication in Honeybees
Honeybees navigate and communicate in the context of foraging and nest selection. A novel technique ( harmonic radar tracking) has been applied to foraging behavior. On the basis of the data collected, a concept that assumes an integrated map-like structure of spatial memory was developed. Characteristic features (long-ranging landmarks) and local characteristics are learned during exploratory ...
متن کاملMaze Navigation Using Optical Flow
Some recent work with autonomous robots has focused on using optical ow for \direct" control of speed and rotation in obstacle avoidance and other simple behaviors. This work has been inspired by work with insects showing similar mechanisms. To extend these behaviors, three methods of maze navigation are investigated in a simulated robot modeled after a real one. A motor-based method places bia...
متن کاملDevelopment of maze navigation by tufted capuchins (Cebus apella).
Theories of spatial navigation hypothesize that animals use vector or topological information to choose routes, often including detours, to move objects or themselves to goals. We assessed adult capuchin monkeys' (Cebus apella) navigation through 192 virtual two-dimensional mazes that incorporated detour problems. Six monkeys initially were significantly less likely to choose the correct paths ...
متن کاملHoneybees consolidate navigation memory during sleep.
Sleep is known to support memory consolidation in animals, including humans. Here we ask whether consolidation of novel navigation memory in honeybees depends on sleep. Foragers were exposed to a forced navigation task in which they learned to home more efficiently from an unexpected release site by acquiring navigational memory during the successful homing flight. This task was quantified usin...
