Abstract:
AbstractEvolution is often considered a gradual hill-climbing process, slowly increasing the fitness of organisms. Here I investigate evolution of homing behaviour in simulated intertidal limpets. While the simulation of homing is only a possible mechanism by which homing may have evolved, the process allows an investigation of how evolution may occur over different fitness landscapes. With some fitness landscapes, in order to evolve path integration as a homing mechanism, a temporary reduction in an organism’s fitness was required — since high developmental costs occurred before successful homing strategies evolved. Simple hill-climbing algorithms, therefore, only rarely resulted in the evolution of a functional homing behaviour. The inclusion of trail-following greatly increases the frequency of success of evolution of a path integration strategy. Initially an emergent homing behaviour is formed combining path integration with trail-following. This also demonstrates evolution through exaptation, since in the simulation, the original role of trail-following is likely to be unrelated to homing. Analysis of the fitness landscapes of homing in the presence of trail-following behaviour shows a high variability of fitness, which results in the formation of ‘stepping-stones’ of high fitness across fitness valleys. By using these stepping-stones, simple hill-climbing algorithms can reach the global maximum fitness value.

Abstract:
The homing ability of 20 temperate Australian intertidal rockpool fishes was investigated between September 1999 and August 2001 by relocating tagged fish to other rockpools at distances of <5 m and 10–20 m. Eleven species showed homing ability, which may be due to topographical cues learned during high-tide feeding excursions within the intertidal zone. Displacement distance and time at liberty did not influence the proportion of fish homing, indicating that homing tendency is strong for most species examined. After ~120 days there is a dramatic decrease in the number of fish homing, but fish are capable of homing up to 214 days. The proportion of fish homing was independent of size, except for Lepidoblennius haplodactylus, which showed a reduced tendency to home with increasing size. The fate or whereabouts of fish that never returned to rockpools could not be determined. Possible explanations include relocation to rockpools near release points or increased susceptibility to predation due to tagging.

Abstract:
Group living has been proposed to yield benefits that enhance fitness above the level that would be achieved through living as solitary individuals. Dominance hierarchies occur commonly in these social assemblages, and result, by definition, in resources not being evenly distributed between group members. Determinants of rank within a dominance hierarchy can be associated with morphological characteristics, previous experience of the individual, or personality traits such as exploration tendencies. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether greater exploration and positive responses to novel objects in homing pigeons ( Columba livia ) measured under laboratory conditions were associated with (i) greater initial exploration of the local area around the home loft during spontaneous exploration flights (SEF), (ii) faster and more efficient homing flights when released from further afield, and (iii) whether the traits of greater exploration and more positive responses to novel objects were more likely to be exhibited by the more dominant individuals within the group. There was no relationship between laboratory-based novel object exploration and position within the dominance hierarchy. Pigeons that were neophobic under laboratory conditions did not explore the local area during SEF opportunities. When released from sites further from home, neophobic pigeons took longer routes to home compared to those birds that had not exhibited neophobic traits under laboratory conditions, and had spontaneously explored to a greater extent. The lack of exploration in the neophobic birds is likely to have resulted in the increased costs of homing following release: unfamiliarity with the landscape likely led to the greater distances travelled and less efficient routes taken. Birds that demonstrated a lack of neophobia were not the dominant individuals inside the loft, and thus would have less access to resources such as food and potentially mates. However, a lack of neophobia makes the subordinate position possible, because subordinate birds that incur high travel costs would become calorie restricted and lose condition. Our results address emerging questions linking individual variation in behaviour with energetics and fitness consequences.

Abstract:
Pigeons were made anosmic by unilateral treatment of their olfactory mucosa with a zinc sulphate solution and by plugging the contralateral nostril. In a series of releases at unfamiliar sites, 55&shy;79 km from the home loft, the experimental birds' homing behaviour was compared with that of two control groups: unmanipulated control birds, and birds subjected to unilateral zinc sulphate treatment and equipped with an ipsilateral nasal plug. The experimental pigeons exhibited homing behaviour &shy; in terms of both homeward initial orientation and homing performance &shy; significantly poorer than that of both unmanipulated and treated control pigeons. In addition, the homing behaviour of the treated controls turned out to be only slightly, and not significantly, poorer than that of the unmanipulated birds. The results show that the impaired homing capabilities of the zinc-sulphate-treated birds are due to the lack of navigational information and not to non-specific brain damage caused by the experimental treatment.

Abstract:
AbstractSite fidelity and long-distance homing are known to occur in nesting female Hymenoptera. We report here on the site fidelity and homing ability in males of five species of scoliid wasps (Hymenoptera: Scoliidae), a group whose females do not make nests but are ectoparasitoids of scarabaeid beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea). The males of these wasp species patrol female emergence areas searching for mates. Based on mark-recapture data, we found that between 40% and 100% of marked males left the release area and travelled 50–800 m from the point of capture returning to their original patrol area. We discuss the adaptive significance of site fidelity and homing behaviour in Scoliidae, and propose hypotheses about the evolution of the homing behaviour in Hymenoptera. The homing ability of these primitive Aculeata may represent a case of convergent evolution with other Hymenoptera in which males patrol emergence areas in search of females. Additionally, this homing ability may serve as a preadaptation for the evolution of nest-provisioning and nesting habits in Hymenoptera.

Abstract:
The ability of animals to disperse towards their original home range following displacement has been demonstrated in a number of species. However, little is known about the homing ability of three-spine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus), an important model species in behavioural ecology. In addition, few studies have examined the role of social facilitation in relation to homing behaviour in fishes. We examined homing behaviour of sticklebacks displaced over distances of between 80 m and 160 m in land-drains with directional water flow. Fish were translocated from their original capture site, tagged and then released either in groups or solitarily. We performed recapture transects either one or two days later. Data provided by recaptured sticklebacks show that the fish dispersed in the direction of their original capture site. Although fish translocated downstream typically moved further than those translocated upstream, both dispersed towards their original capture site. There was no difference between fish released solitarily or in groups in their homing ability and indeed there was little evidence that fish translocated in groups remained together following their release. The homing ability of the fish was demonstrated by the finding that up to 80% of fish returned to their home ranges within two days of release over a distance equivalent to approximately 5000 body lengths of these small fish.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on conflict resolution and collective decision-making in co-navigating pigeons, Columba livia. These birds have a remarkable homing ability and frequently fly in flocks. Group navigation demands that group members reach consensus on which path to follow, but the mechanisms by which they do so remain largely unexplored. Pigeons are particularly suitable for studying these mechanisms, due to their sociality and the fact that their possession of information can easily be altered and quantified. I present the results of a series of experiments that manipulated the experience of homing pigeons in various ways so as to observe the effect of information they had previously gathered on their group behaviour. Key findings were: Previous navigational experience contributes to the establishment of leader-follower relationships. The larger the difference in experience between two co-navigating pigeons, the higher the likelihood the more experienced bird will emerge as leader. Shared homing experience through repeated joint flights can allow two pigeons to develop into a “behavioural unit”. They form spatial sub-groups when flying with less familiar birds, and perform a similar transition between compromise- and leadership-dominated flights as single birds, although they are more likely to accept compromise routes. Such previous association histories between birds can thus affect collective decision-making in larger flocks. There is a trade-off between the amount of spatial information handled and the efficiency with which such information can be applied during homing. Leading/following behaviour is influenced by the recency of the route memories. Leadership hierarchies in pigeon flocks appear resistant to changes in the navigational knowledge of a subset of their members, at least when these changes are relatively small in magnitude. The stability of the hierarchical structure might be beneficial during decision-making. Mathematical modelling suggests that underlying hierarchical social structures can increase navigational accuracy. Hierarchically organised groups with the smallest number of strong connections achieve highest accuracy. Group leader-follower dynamics resemble the underlying social structure.

Abstract:
Our dissertation concerns robotic navigation in dynamic indoor environments using image-based visual homing. Image-based visual homing infers the direction to a goal location S from the navigator’s current location C using the similarity between panoramic images IS and IC captured at those locations. There are several ways to compute this similarity. One of the contributions of our dissertation is to identify a robust image similarity measure – mutual image information – to use in dynamic indoor environments. We crafted novel methods to speed the computation of mutual image information with both parallel and serial processors and demonstrated that these time-savers had little negative effect on homing success. Image-based visual homing requires a homing agent tomove so as to optimise themutual image information signal. As the mutual information signal is corrupted by sensor noise we turned to the stochastic optimisation literature for appropriate optimisation algorithms. We tested a number of these algorithms in both simulated and real dynamic laboratory environments and found that gradient descent (with gradients computed by one-sided differences) works best.

Abstract:
Studies of avian navigation are making increasing use of miniature Global Positioning Satellite devices, to regularly record the position of birds in flight with high spatial and temporal resolution. I suggest a novel approach to analysing the data sets pro- duced in these experiments, focussing on studies of the domesticated homing pigeon (Columba Livia) in the local, familiar area. Using Gaussian processes and Bayesian inference as a mathematical foundation I develop and apply a statistical model to make quantitative predictions of homing pigeon flight paths. Using this model I show that pigeons, when released repeatedly from the same site, learn and follow a habitual route back to their home loft. The model reveals the rate of route learning and provides a quantitative estimate of the habitual route complete with associated spatio-temporal covariance. Furthermore I show that this habitual route is best described by a sequence of isolated waypoints rather than as a continuous path, and that these waypoints are preferentially found in certain terrain types, being especially rare within urban and forested environments. As a corollary I demonstrate an extension of the flight path model to simulate ex- periments where pigeons are released in pairs, and show that this can account for observed large scale patterns in such experiments based only on the individual birds’ previous behaviour in solo flights, making a successful quantitative prediction of the critical value associated with a non-linear behavioural transition.

Dissertação de mestrado em Etologia
Com este trabalho pretendeu-se contribuir para a investigação dos padrões de movimentação da espécie Coryphoblennius galeríta (Bíenniidae), através da análise do padrão de ocupação das poças de maré, tendo o estudo decorrido na costa portuguesa no litoral rochoso da costa do Estoril. Neste estudo, que decorreu durante o período reprodutor da espécie, pretendeu-se avaliar a existência de fidelidade, a curto e a longo-prazo, a poças de maré ou a áreas restritas, e ainda a capacidade de regresso às poças de origem (i.e. "homing"). Para tal, realizaram-se experiências que envolveram a marcação e recaptura de indivíduos que foram libertados quer nas poças de origem quer em poças de libertação, localizadas a diferentes distâncias e orientações relativamente à poça de origem. Os resultados obtidos indicam que: - existe fidelidade a uma área restrita que se manifesta por uma ocupação regular das poças de maré e que é comprovada pelas elevadas taxas de recaptura obtidas; - existe um movimento dirigido de regresso ao local preferencialmente ocupado na maré-baixa, ou seja, a existe a capacidade de "homing". Experimentalmente a capacidade de "homing" é evidenciada pela elevada taxa de retorno às poças de origem para todo o intervalo de distâncias e orientações de deslocamento utilizados. A hipótese mais consistente indica que o habitat preferencial desta espécie na maré-baixa abrange mais do que uma poça sendo, no entanto, provável que haja uma poça ocupada com mais frequência, que funcione como poça central de residência, à qual os indivíduos regressam após as excursões alimentares que têm lugar na maré-cheia; por outras palavras, os indivíduos apresentam fidelidade a uma área restrita apesar de serem bastante móveis. A hipótese avançada está de acordo com os conhecimentos actuais sobre esta espécie. C. galerita é uma espécie de pequenas dimensões que parece ter-se especializado na ocupação das poças como habitat preferencial, recrutando para o mesmo tipo de poças onde vai permanecer enquanto adulto. Neste trabalho, é apresentada uma secção em que se faz um resumo dos conhecimentos actuais sobre as funções/valor adaptativo, assim como dos mecanismos envolvidos nos comportamentos de "homing" e de fidelidade a poças de maré dos peixes intertidais.

Abstract:
Population divergence shaped by natural selection is central to evolutionary ecology research and has been in focus since Darwin formulated “The origin of species”. Still, the process of adaptive divergence among sympatric populations is poorly understood. In this thesis I studied patterns of adaptive divergence among subpopulations of pike (Esox lucius) that are sympatric in the Baltic Sea but become short-term allopatric during spawning and initial juvenile growth in freshwater streams. I also examined causes and consequences of phenotypic variation among individuals within subpopulations to evaluate the contribution of natural selection to population divergence.   I first investigated homing behaviour and population structures of pike to assess the potential for adaptive divergence among sympatric pike that migrate to spawn in different streams. Mark-recapture data suggested that migrating pike displayed homing behaviour and repeatedly returned to the same stream. Analyses of microsatellite data revealed partial reproductive isolation among subpopulations spawning in different streams. These subpopulations, however, were truly sympatric during the life-stage spent in the Baltic Sea.   To address whether short-term allopatry has resulted in adaptive divergence among sympatric subpopulations I combined observational, experimental and molecular approaches. Observational data showed that subpopulations differed in morphological and life-history traits and common-garden experiments suggested that differences were, at least in part, genetically based. Moreover, QST-FST comparisons indicated that genetically based phenotypic differences has been driven by divergent selection, and a reciprocal translocation experiment showed that phenotypic variation represented local adaptations to spawning habitats. Finally, longitudinal and cross-sectional comparisons among individuals revealed associations between phenotypes, performance and fitness components.   In conclusion, my thesis illustrates how short-term allopatry due to migratory behaviour can result in adaptive divergence among sympatric subpopulations. These findings advance the understanding of evolutionary processes at the finest spatiotemporal scale and illustrate that local adaptations can arise in environments with high connectivity.  The results also emphasise that fine spatial scale population structures must be taken into consideration in management and conservation of biodiversity in the Baltic Sea.

Abstract:
The biology of juvenile Atlantic salmon and brown trout was studied within a small section of the Girnock Burn, a tributary of the Aberseenshire Dee. Salmon parr and brown trout were captured, measured, weighed, individually marked, and repeatedly recaptured over the period 1985-1988. Physical resources were mapped in detail within the study section, and were found to be patchily distributed. Patch size was small, typically a few square metres. Significant differences in micro-habitat existed between young and old fish, between sympatric Atlantic salmon and brown trout, and between seasons. All fish avoided shallow waters and fine substrates. Sites that combined low bottom velocities with access to fast surface currents were significantly selected by both salmon parr and brown trout. These sites supported the highest local densities of fish, and held the largest individuals. As drift-feeders, salmon appear to choose sites during the growing season that maximise food intake and minimise energy expenditure. Growth of juvenile salmon was related to water temperature, being rapid from March to June, slowing down from July to September, and in some fish ceasing altogether from September to March. In the fall, salmon 0&'43 moved to parr habitat, resources became more limited, and some parr left the stream. At low temperature, juvenile salmon hid within the substrate in riffles, while brown trout overwintered around large rocks and in a spring-fed tributary. Habitat overlap between salmon 0&43 and older parr increased from summer to fall while habitat overlap between salmon and trout decreased. Juvenile salmon were spatially aggregated. Highest densities were found at favourable sites near surface boulders. The area used by fish and the proportion of fish found at unfavourable habitats increased with fish density. Habitat selection and the spatial distribution of the population appeared to be density-dependent. Site-fidelity was shown both by salmon parr and brown trout, though in general fidelity was stronger in salmon parr. The majority of recaptures of salmon parr and brown trout were close to previous capture locations in the stream. Long-term site-fidelity was also shown by salmon parr from one year to the next. Two groups of fish, differing in their degree of mobility, were apparent both for salmon and trout: a large, stationary group, and a smaller, more mobile one. The groups were not distinguished by size, season, or stage of sexual maturity. Movements out of the burn were confined to the fall and spring. Immature parr, mostly females, migrated downstream in the fall, but were not yet adapted to full-strength seawater. Mature males performed complex upstream and downstream movements in the fall, and some of these fish homed back to their summer sites after spawning. For many males, maturation in the fall was followed by smolting in the spring, but repeated maturation was also common. Homing success in displaced fish was related to fish size and to the direction of displacement. Homing was better among larger than smaller fish, and it was better among fish displaced downstream than those displaced upstream. Fish rendered anosmic showed a greater tendency to stay where released, and homed less successfully than intact fish. The home areas of salmon parr were smaller than those of brown trout. The home areas of individuals overlapped and were unrelated to fish size; they appeared to be inversely related to substrate size and to current velocity. By spending most of their lives in a small area of the stream, juvenile salmon and brown trout may only interact with a few conspecifics. The population appears to consist of a number of small social units, rather than a single freely mixing group. The fate of individuals may be determined by very localised environmental and social conditions.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates how collective decisions in bird flocks arise from simple rules, the factors that give some birds more influence over a flock's direction, and how travelling as a flock affects spatial learning. I used GPS loggers to track pigeons homing alone and in flocks, and applied mathematical modelling to explore the mechanisms underlying group decisions. Across several experiments, the key results were as follows: Flying home with a more experienced individual not only gave a pigeon an immediate advantage in terms of taking a more direct route, but the followers also learned homing routes just as accurately as pigeons flying alone. This shows that using social cues did not interfere with learning about the landscape during a series of paired flights. Pigeons that were faster during solo homing flights also tended to fly at the front of flocks, where they had more influence over the direction taken. Analysis of momentary interactions during paired flights and simulations of pair trajectories support the conclusion that speed increases the likelihood of leading. A pigeon's solo homing efficiency before flock flights did not correlate with leadership in flocks of ten, but leaders did have more efficient solo tracks when tested after a series of flock flights. A possible explanation is that leaders attended more to the landscape and therefore learned faster. Flocks took straighter routes than pigeons flying alone, as would be expected if they effectively pooled information. In addition, pigeons responded more strongly to the direction of several neighbours, during flock flights, than to a single neighbour during paired flights. This behaviour makes sense adaptively because social information will be more reliable when following several conspecifics compared to one. Through a combination of high-resolution tracking and mathematical modelling, this thesis sheds light on the mechanisms of flocking and its navigational consequences.

Abstract:
This paper presents a virtual learning environment for HIP (Host Identity Protocol). HIP is a potential future Internet protocol currently under research. The main idea with HIP is the separation between the location and identity information by introducing a new cryptographic name space, called Host Identity (HI). This feature provides enhanced network security as well as easy management of mobility and multi-homing. Overviews of the basic features and implementations of HIP are included in the paper. A technical description of HIP, including a survey of specifications and details about the functionality of the protocol, is included in an appendix. The HIP learning environment has been produced to serve both contact and distance education in advanced networking. The development of the learning environment is described. A list of topics that developers of a learning environment should think of when designing the user interface is presented based on a theory on the structure of human behaviour. This theory is included in an appendix. The chosen didactical approach, the structured animation of HIP features, and the graphical design of the learning platform are presented and motivated. The IT tools and infrastructure needed to implement and use the learning platform are also described.

Abstract:
Mathematical models are presented in this paper to describe human maneuvers for aircraft flight simulation. Input parameters for the human pilot model (HPM), such as the course deviation indicator (CDI) and the heading change, are defined for the model, and are related mathematically to those in the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for automatic control. Similarities are discussed between the parameters in HPM and those in the automatic control for better understanding of the significance of human factors and their effect on aircraft behavior. Examples for the HPM include aircraft instrument landing system (ILS) lateral and vertical control, heading change, and homing. The model is tested by using the high-fidelity flight simulation simulator JSBSim [1].

Abstract:
The expression symbolic behaviour has become a familiar term in the archaeological literature of the last twenty-five years. It is generally used to refer to surviving evidence for the use of colour, ornaments, image making and signs to distinguish them from the material remains of subsistence activities. Understanding what such items represented symbolically to the makers is unknown but it is a reasonable assumption that symbolizing or making thoughts visible as objects, images or signs was generally intended to influence relationships between people, to sustain relationships with the environment and establish relationships with spiritual powers. In this respect, symbolic labour, the effort of producing symbolic items, is a worthwhile activity that is a vital part of the social and economic viability of human groups. Consequently, images and signs need to be considered in context and in relation to the diverse activities indicated by other artefacts and remains. This paper uses objects from different times and cultures to review these aspects of image making, images and signs. It poses more questions than it offers answers. A 1.4 million-year-old handaxe from Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania is used to consider the significance of the materialization of thoughts into objects and the shaping of objects beyond utilitarian requirements and with unnecessary symmetry. Is this symbolic behaviour in the Early Stone Age Did natural selection favour tool using hominins who were able to combine the functions of the brains amygdala to memorize, interpret and process all kinds of sensory signs in seconds and instantly make behavioural reactions with new responses connected to planning, creativity and other executive functions driven by the pre-frontal cortex Did a developing function of symbolising thought improve social bonding and contribute to the survival of early hominin groups who were the hunted rather than the hunters Is it correct to regard symbolic behaviour as an evolutionary threshold rather than part of the long continuum of human evolution The talk will refer briefly to other objects from the Upper Palaeolithic of Europe and include discussion of the image of a creature that does not exist in nature, the Lion Man from Stadel Cave, Germany, and the significance of deliberate breakage as a sign or symbol, animal images associated with signs, as well as marked tools and weapons from the French Magdalenian.

Abstract:
Droplet impact on solid surfaces has been extensively reported in the literature, however the effect of accompanying air flow on the outcome of impacting droplet has yet to be addressed and analyzed which is similar to real scenario of impacting water droplet on aircraft’s leading edge at in-flight icing conditions. This study addresses the net effect of airflow (i.e. stagnation and the resultant shear flow) on the impacting water droplet with the same droplet impact velocity which is exposed to different airspeeds. In order to provide stagnation flow, a droplet accelerator was built which can generate different airspeeds up to 20 m/s. Droplet impact behavior accompanied with stagnation flow on a polished aluminum surface with a contact angle of 70° was investigated by high speed photography. 2.5 mm water droplet size with impact velocities of 2, 2.5 and 3 m/s which correspond to non-splashing regime of impacts are exposed to three different regimes of air speeds namely 0 (i.e. still air case), 10, and 20 m/s. It was observed that when droplet reaches to its maximum spreading diameter, some fingered shape at the end of spreading lamella (i.e. Rayleigh-Taylor instability) is appeared. When stagnation flow is present these fingered shape droplets are exposed to the generated shear flow close to the substrate (i.e. Homann flow approach) causes a droplet break up while complete non-splashing regime is observed in still air case. In spite of the fact that maximum spreading diameter is not largely affected by air flow compare to still air case, droplet height variation is significantly reduced by about 70 percent for strong stagnation flow (i.e. 20 m/s) which generates non-recoiling condition resulting in the thin film formation.

Abstract:
Many people enjoy wildlife. Nationwide, Americans spend over $144 billion annually on fishing, hunting, and wildlife-watching activities. However, wildlife is not always welcome in or near homes, buildings, or other property and can cause significant damage or health and safety issues. Many people who experience a wildlife conflict prefer to resolve the issue without harming the offending animal. Of the many options available (i.e., habitat modification, exclusion, repellents) for addressing nuisance wildlife problems, translocation—capturing and moving—of the offending animal is often perceived to be effective. However, trapping and translocating wild animals is rarely legal nor is it considered a viable solution by wildlife professionals for resolving most nuisance wildlife problems. Reasons to avoid translocating nuisance wildlife include legal restrictions, disease concerns, liability issues associated with injuries or damage caused by a translocated animal, stress to the animal, homing behavior, and risk of death to the animal. Translocation is appropriate in some situations such as re-establishing endangered species, enhancing genetic diversity, and stocking species in formerly occupied habitats. The main focus of this publication, however, is to address nuisance wildlife issues that may be commonly encountered by homeowners and nuisance wildlife control professionals.
