... away. Male responses to nereithione were modeled by computer simulation, taking into account arousal of swim speed, activation of turning,speed of response and its decay, etc. In the model, low concentrations(<10 –8 mol l –1 ) of pheromone significantly increased the number of encounters...

... in the blowfly is more complex. By using a computer-simulated virtual blowfly we show that catch-up saccade-like body turns can be explained as an emergent property of the fly's smooth pursuit system under certain circumstances. We show that sophisticated visually guided behaviour can emerge from much...
