...Jochen Zeil ABSTRACT Visually navigating Myrmecia foragers approach their nest from distances up to 25 m along well-directed paths, even from locations they have never been before ( Narendra et al., 2013). However, close to the nest, they often spend some time pinpointing the nest entrance...

.... Gastropod mollusk Visual navigation Internal state Thigmotaxis National Institutes of Health U01-NS123972 U01-NS108637 Gastropod mollusks have been shown to have visual responses ranging from phototaxis (Matsuo et al., 2014 ; Zieger et al., 2009) to high-resolution spatial vision...

... thermophilic desert ants, Melophorus bagoti foragers have short lives outside the nest in which they accomplish remarkable visual navigational tasks. They possess a navigational toolbox containing multiple strategies, relying on the acquisition of multiple cue sources (Freas et al., 2019). The most well...

... on learning and visual scanning behaviour in the Australian nocturnal bull ant, Myrmecia midas , which are exceptional visual navigators. We tested how individual ants learn to detour via a gap and how they cope with substantial spatial changes over trips. Homing M. midas ants encountered a barrier...

...Cody A. Freas; Ken Cheng ABSTRACT Nocturnal ants forage and navigate during periods of reduced light, making detection of visual cues difficult, yet they are skilled visual navigators. These foragers retain visual panoramic memories both around the nest and along known routes for later use...

... acquired two routes indicate that memories of the direction and distance of the return routes are linked, suggesting that they may be encoded by a common neural population within the ant brain. References Åkesson , S. and Wehner , R. (2002). Visual navigation in desert ants Cataglyphis...
