LocPort, Jamie Kendra Biology Neurobiology Behavioral Sciences Ecology Fluid Dynamics Neurosciences odor tracking temporal tracking plume olfaction spatial orientation tracking behavior antenna map spatial tracking antennae It has been proposed since the very beginnings of mechanistic analyses of animal orientation and navigation that bilaterally symmetrical animals had two approaches available for using sensory information - spatial and temporal. The spatial approach requires a comparison between two or more sensory inputs, whereas in a temporal approach the input from the various sensors are summed and compared across time. It has long been assumed that animals could and use both of these strategies, but these ideas have rarely been tested directly. I have chosen to address these fundamental and long standing questions directly through both behavioral experiments and computer simulations. Using the American cockroach, Periplaneta ameriana as a model organism, I have sought answers to the question of how they use the information available to them to track an odor. This required me to consider what are the physical and physiological limits of the environment and the animal (chapter 1), examine what information is available in the environment (chapter 2), what can be surmised about the information they use by studying their behavior (chapter 3), and to consider what might be the best thing to do with the information they collect (chapter 4). A brief summary tying all of this together is then given (chapter 5). 2018-06-01 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1522781434619908 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1522781434619908 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
