    The map sense of pigeons (1982)

    Notes: [Auszug] Homing pigeons are able to return to their lofts after displacement to unfamiliar sites hundreds of kilometres away. A map sense enables them to determine their location, and a hierarchy of compass senses orient their flight. Recent experiments implicate magnetic and olfactory cues as the basis of ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE Wiltschkos are respected pioneers in the study of animal orientation. They provided the first really convincing evidence of magnetic field orientation in migrating birds, and, through a series of clever and well-controlled experiments, have painstakingly pieced together a nearly seamless ...

    Constant compass calibration (1995)

    Notes: [Auszug] MIGRATING birds have an embarrassing number of compasses, which they calibrate against one another early in life. But the original calibration of the magnetic compass becomes dangerously inaccurate as birds migrate between high and low latitudes. Now, as ...

    Notes: [Auszug] JUST when it seemed that we understood the main principles by which migrating birds navigate, along comes a new set of experiments to make us think again. The observations, by Weindler, Wiltschko and Wiltschko (reported on page 158 of this issue1), add a new level of complexity to our knowledge of ...

    The spatial precision of the honey bees' dance communication (1988)
    Springer
    Journal of insect behavior 1 (1988), S. 129-155 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-8889
    Keywords: Apis ; communication ; dance language ; foraging behavior ; honey bee ; information quality ; insect communication ; recruitment communication ; social insects ; waggle dance
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Many social insect species that employ directional recruitment to food finds communicate the location of their targets with seemingly needless imprecision. Here we present evidence that the spatial precision of the honey bees' dance communication has been “tuned” by selection so that recruits are neither so accurate that they usually find areas which have already been depleted nor so inaccurate that they usually fail to find the advertised resources altogether. First, the bees' distance errors are similar in magnitude to their directional errors, and their angular errors decrease greatly with increasing distance to the target (decreasing more than fourfold between 100 and 700 m). As a result, the absolute scatter of recruits remains relatively constant with changing distance to the target (increasing by less than 50% between 100 and 700 m). This is to be expected if the optimal level of imprecision is the same for distance and direction and does not change with the distance of the target from the nest. Second, comparative studies involving three tropical- and one temperate-zone species (all Apis)suggest that the precision of the bees' languages may have been tuned in accordance with the spatial characteristics of the resources each species uses. We suggest that both the round dance, which conveys no directional information for nearby targets, and the high angular divergence in waggle dances indicating targets within several hundred meters of the colony are both understandable in this context.

    Notes: [Auszug] MOST multi-author volumes are, let's face it, a pig's breakfast of papers of wildly varying length, style, scientific quality and relevance to the overall theme concerned; they represent the usual compromises between whom the organizers ought to have invited to contribute, those they did invite, ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE prolonged controversy over whether animals can sense the Earth's magnetic field has mostly given way to an equally lively debate about how the field is detected in the first place. Certain bacteria1, insects2'3, birds4' and fish6-7 seem to use miniature magnetic compass needles made of ...
