Produktbeschreibung

learning. Spatial Representation in Animals brings together cross-disciplinary research on animal navigation in several different species, in an accessible and exciting way. Chapters written by eminent scientists in animal behavior, ecology, psychology, and neurophysiology, cover a wide range of topics including: landmark use; the role of dead reckoning; spatial memory; long-distance migration; and map-making; among others. The authors review research in their respective fields and speculate about future directions in the field. Researchers and students in biology and psychology, as well as all those interested in animal navigation, will find this an important resource.
