From both comparative biology and translational research perspectives, there is escalating
interest in understanding how animals navigate their environments. Considerable work is …

Adequate homing is essential for the survival of any animal when it leaves its home to find
prey or a mate. There are several strategies by which homing can be carried out:(a) retrace …

Amblypygids, or whip spiders, are nocturnally active arachnids which live in structurally
complex environments. Whip spiders are excellent navigators that can re-locate a home …

Sexual dimorphism is a common feature of life. Researchers have noted that some species
of Amblypygi (Class Arachnida) exhibit male-biased sexual dimorphism, but a broad …

Whip spiders (Class Arachnida: Order Amblypygi) are hypothesized to use multimodal
sensory inputs to navigate back to their diurnal shelter after a night of activity, and chemical …

Simple Summary It is difficult to measure animal intelligence because the definition of
'intelligence'varies, and many animals are good at specific tasks used to measure …

The sensory mechanisms underlying homing, the act of returning to a shelter after traveling
to resource-rich areas, has been rigorously studied. Additionally, investigations into spatial …

Navigation in arthropods has been well studied in terrestrial model organisms such as ants,
fiddler crabs, and spiders and there is an emerging understanding that arthropods are much …
