Moving between day and night: Navigational strategies and foraging costs of temporal niche partitioning

这项研究涉及基础研究，以确定占据不同时间生态位的动物的导航策略和觅食成本。它将利用澳大利亚独特的研究机会，通过与特有动物合作，使科学家能够解决否则很难回答的问题。该项目将引入差动GPS跟踪蚂蚁路径的新技术，这可能会给昆虫导航领域带来革命性的变化。这项研究分析的显著相关导航策略将在工程和机器人领域引起极大的兴趣。

This study involves fundamental research to identify the navigational strategies and the foraging cost in animals that occupy different temporal niches. It will make use of the unique research opportunities in Australia, by working with endemic fauna that allows scientists to address questions that would otherwise be hard to answer. The project will introduce the novel technique of differential GPS to track the paths of ants which has the potential to revolutionise the field of insect navigation. Salience-dependent navigational strategies analysed in this study will be of great interest in the field of engineering and robotics.
