Insects locate many resources important to survival by tracking along wind-borne odor
plumes to their source. It is well known that plumes are patchy distributions of high …

Localizing the sources of stimuli is essential. Most organisms cannot eat, mate, or escape
without knowing where the relevant stimuli originate. For many, if not most, animals, olfaction …

The story of this edition is a testament to an almost legendary gure in theoretical ecology
and to the in uence his work and charisma has had on the eld. It is also a story that can only …

The sense of smell is typically thought of as a'slow'sense, but the true temporal constraints
on the accuracy of olfactory perception are not known. It has been proposed that animals …

Projection neurons (PNs) in the locust antennal lobe exhibit odor-specific dynamic
responses. We studied a PN population, stimulated with five odorants and pulse durations …

Insect olfactory systems present models to study interactions between animal genomes and
the environment. They have evolved for fast processing of specific odorant blends and for …

Chemical signals mediate many of life's processes. For organisms that use these signals to
orient and navigate in their environment, where and when these cues are encountered is …

This paper presents an investigation of odor localization by groups of autonomous mobile
robots. First, we describe a distributed algorithm by which groups of agents can solve the full …

Odour plumes in the wild are spatially complex and rapidly fluctuating structures carried by
turbulent airflows,,–. To successfully navigate plumes in search of food and mates, insects …
