Many animals use vision to detect, discriminate, or recognize important objects such as prey,
predators, homes, or mates. These objects may differ in color and brightness—having …

Throughout history, the stars have provided humans with ever more information about our
world, enabling increasingly accurate systems of navigation in addition to fuelling some of …

Migratory insects are a key component of terrestrial ecosystems, but understanding their full
contribution is challenging as they are difficult to track, and migration often takes place at …

In the pursuit of develo** an efficient artificial visual system for visual motion detection,
researchers find inspiration from the visual motion-sensitive neural pathways in the insect's …

Many animals rely on visual figure–ground discrimination to aid in navigation, and to draw
attention to salient features like conspecifics or predators. Even figures that are similar in …

Robust and efficient target-tracking algorithms embedded on moving platforms, are a
requirement for many computer vision and robotic applications. However, deployment of a …

Vespula germanica and Vespula vulgaris are two common European wasps that have
ecological and economic importance as a result of their artificial introduction into many …

Animals use rules to initiate behaviors. Such rules are often described as triggers that
determine when behavior begins. However, although less explored, these selection rules …

Information about self-motion and obstacles in the environment is encoded by optic flow, the
movement of images on the eye. Decades of research have revealed that flying insects …

Many sea urchins can detect light on their body surface and some species are reported to
possess image-resolving vision. Here, we measure the spatial resolution of vision in the …
