... still be beneficial for navigation, even if only one is sufficient. Paired organs could enhance the sensitivity of both chemosensation ( Gomez-Marin et al., 2010 ) and rheosensation, and thereby improve the effectiveness of odour-gated rheotaxis. We suggest more challenging behavioural assays (longer...
