We are witnessing the advent of a new era of robots—drones—that can autonomously fly in
natural and man-made environments. These robots, often associated with defence …

Directional motion processing is a pervasive and functionally important feature of the visual
system. Behavioural and VEP studies indicate that it appears as a cortical function after …

Many animals, including insects, are known to use visual landmarks to orient in their
environment. In Drosophila melanogaster, behavioural genetics studies have identified a …

Research over the past century has revealed the impressive capacities of the honeybee,
Apis mellifera, in relation to visual perception, flight guidance, navigation, and learning and …

Guiding effective movement through the environment is one of the visual system's most
important functions. The pattern of motion that we see allows us to estimate our heading …

The visual ecology of flies is outstanding among insects due to a combination of specific
attributes. Flies' compound eyes possess an open rhabdom and thus separate rhabdomeres …

Goal-directed locomotion, in particular in situations where there is a need to step over or
around obstacles, is largely guided by visual information. To negotiate an obstacle …

The most highly advanced social insects such as bees and ants are impressive, long-
distance navigators. They forage over distances of hundreds of metres (ants: Wehner 1987) …

Flies display a sophisticated suite of aerial behaviours that require rapid sensory–motor
processing. Like all insects, flight control in flies is mediated in part by motion–sensitive …

From mammals to insects, locomotion has been shown to strongly modulate visual-system
physiology. Does the manner in which a locomotor act is initiated change the modulation …
