At first the ants stored all of the pupae in the crevice between incline A and stage number one. After that had been accomplished, they began carrying them to the nest. This was conducted at night, by incandescent electric light; all of the other experiments of the series were conducted by daylight. X The pupae were carried up incline C to stage number two, across stage number two to incline if, down incline B to the nest. No pupae were carried down incline A. One pupa was conveyed down incline B, all the others down incline A. One worker ascended incline B to the stage and carried a pupa down incline A. ) One pupa was conveyed down incline B, the remainder down incline A. t All of the pupae were conveyed down incline B. 0 A very large majority of the pupae were carried down incline B to the nest. One pupa was carried down incline A to the nest and several were carried down incline A and stored under the base of the incline. Up to bedtime the pupae had not been carried to the nest. Thus the ants were lost for over 12 hours. In the course of half an hour all of the pupae had been stored in the dark chamber. There they were left, while the workers, one by one, straggled back to the nest. After the lapse of 21 hours and thirty minutes, the pupae were still in the dark chamber. I then removed the dark chamber and placed workers from the nest on the stage. IV. IMPRESSIONS THAT INFLUENCE HOME-GOING ANTS. 1 have endeavored to show that ants find their way home by virtue of something which they acquire by experience and retain; in other words, that they acquire from their environment impressions which influence their home-going. I now propose to examine the nature of these impressions. Most recent students of ants write as though these...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Homing of Ants: An Experimental Study of Ant Behavior The stage used consisted of a piece of white bristol board I 5 cm. Square; in the edges of two opposite sides perpendicular slits were made 2 cm. From each corner, for the purpose of attaching inclines to the stage. The center of this platform was attached, by means of a pin, to the cork of a bottle about 12 cm. High. Unless otherwise stated, a new stage was used for each series of experiments. All the inclines were made of the same bristol board as the stage and were about 3 cm. Wide and usually 30 cm. Long. For special purposes inclines were made by pasting two of these end to end. They were also modified in other ways. When an incline led from a stage downward, it was always attached so as to project 2 cm. Above the stage except when a dark chamber was used. When the incline led from the stage upward it was always attached so as to project 2 cm. Below the stage. The dark chamber con sisted of an inverted pasteboard box 8 x 4. X I cm. A flap about one centimeter wide and attached above was cut out of one end, and was pressed inwards to furnish a door through which the ants could enter the dark chamber. In order to observe what was happening on the under side of the stage and incline, a small mir ror, inclined at the proper angle, was placed on the island, at one side of the stage.

Download or read book The Homing Instinct written by Bernd Heinrich and published by HMH. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A noted naturalist explores the centrality of home in the lives of humans and other animals . . . A special treat for readers of natural history” (Kirkus Reviews). Every year, many species make the journey from one place to another, following the same paths and ending up in the same places. Every year since boyhood, the acclaimed scientist and author Bernd Heinrich has done the same, returning to a beloved patch of western Maine woods. Which led him to wonder: What is the biology in humans of this primal pull toward a particular place, and how is it related to animal homing? In The Homing Instinct, Heinrich explores the fascinating mysteries of animal migration: how geese imprint true visual landscape memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures to locate their homes with pinpoint accuracy; and how even the tiniest of songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic orienteering over vast distances. And he reminds us that to discount our human emotions toward home is to ignore biology itself. “A graceful blend of science and memoir . . . [Heinrich’s] ability to linger and simply be there for the moment when, for instance, an elderly spider descends from a silken strand to take the insect he offers her is the heart of his appeal.” —Julie Zickefoose, The Wall Street Journal “Deep and insightful writing.” —David Gessner, The Washington Post

Download or read book Behavioral Mechanisms in Evolutionary Ecology written by Leslie Real and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994-12-15 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book-length exploration of behavioral mechanisms in evolutionary ecology, this ambitious volume illuminates long-standing questions about cause-and-effect relations between an animal's behavior and its environment. By focusing on biological mechanisms—the sum of an animal's cognitive, neural, developmental, and hormonal processes—leading researchers demonstrate how the integrated study of animal physiology, cognitive processes, and social interaction can yield an enriched understanding of behavior. With studies of species ranging from insects to primates, the contributors examine how various animals identify and use environmental resources and deal with ecological constraints, as well as the roles of learning, communication, and cognitive aspects of social interaction in behavioral evolution. Taken together, the chapters demonstrate how the study of internal mechanistic foundations of behavior in relation to their ecological and evolutionary contexts and outcomes provides valuable insight into such behaviors as predation, mating, and dispersal. Behavioral Mechanisms in Evolutionary Ecology shows how a mechanistic approach unites various levels of biological organization to provide a broader understanding of the biological bases of behavioral evolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of visual information is used to augment our knowledge, decide on our actions, and keep track of our environment. Even with eyes closed, people can remember visual and spatial representations, manipulate them, and make decisions about them. The chapters in Volume 42 of Psychology of Learning and Motivation discuss the ways cognition interacts with visual processes and visual representations, with coverage of figure-ground assignment, spatial and visual working memory, object identification and visual search, spatial navigation, and visual attention.
