Getting It Straight: Dynamic Cue Weighting and Orientation Strategies in Ball-Rolling Dung Beetles
Directed movement is fundamental to animal behavior, yet the mechanisms underlying robust orientation remainincompletely understood. The ball-rolling dung beetle offers a unique model system for investigating these mechanismsdue to its distinctive navigational challenges: maintaining a straight-line trajectory while moving backwardand transporting a dung ball. In this thesis, I investigates orient
