自自由生活方式进化以来,动物就需要找到自己的路。特别是,如果一个动物有一个家——庇护所或筑巢地——真正的导航就变得必要了,它可以在这个家和其他活动区域之间穿梭,比如觅食。就像动物王国里的导航一样古老,它的机制和实现方式也是多种多样的,这取决于一个有机体的生态环境和它对传感器和执行器的天赋。在各种各样的动物物种中,使用路标进行导航或使用线索信息素进行路线跟踪已经进行了非常详细的研究。方向感(用于导航的罗盘)和根据罗盘和距离线索构建导航向量也是如此。距离测量本身——里程计——受到的关注要少得多。在概述了导航的一般原则以将里程计置于适当的背景下之后,本综述讨论了对无脊椎动物里程计的一些最新进展。最后,讨论了提高导航精度和安全性的一些改进。
Summary Animals have needed to find their way about almost since a free-living life style evolved. Particularly, if an animal has a home – shelter or nesting site – true navigation becomes necessary to shuttle between this home and areas of other activities, such as feeding. As old as navigation is in the animal kingdom, as diverse are its mechanisms and implementations, depending on an organism's ecology and its endowment with sensors and actuators. The use of landmarks for piloting or the use of trail pheromones for route following have been examined in great detail and in a variety of animal species. The same is true for senses of direction – the compasses for navigation – and the construction of vectors for navigation from compass and distance cues. The measurement of distance itself – odometry – has received much less attention. The present review addresses some recent progress in the understanding of odometers in invertebrates, after outlining general principles of navigation to put odometry in its proper context. Finally, a number of refinements that increase navigation accuracy and safety are addressed.
