Body size in most animals correlates with behavioural competence, brain capacity and sensory receptors. But since the navigational challenges faced by animals both big and small are similar, this project aims to identify the sensory and behavioural costs of miniaturisation and the strategies animals have evolved to cope with it.

大多数动物的身体大小与行为能力、大脑容量和感官受体相关。但由于大型和小型动物面临的导航挑战是相似的，该项目旨在确定小型化的感觉和行为成本，以及动物进化出的应对策略。
