  2. Part 2 Mechanisms and Individual behaviour • Chap. 2 Sensory systems (感應系統)and Behaviour • Chap. 3 The ecology of information use(資訊運用) • Chap. 4 Recognition systems (辨識系統) • Chap. 5 Managing time and energy (時間與能量) • Chap. 6 Sperm competition and mating systems Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  3. Chap. 2 Sensory systems (感應系統) and Behaviour/ R. Wehner • How behaviour is affected by constraints from both the physical environment and the animal’s own body. (個體行為如何受到環境與自身的限制) • How complex behaviour may be the outcome of simple subroutines. (複雜行為如何可能是簡單機制之展現) • Some migratory birds may use a simple sun-compass mechanism to fly the great-circle route around the globe. Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  4. 2.1 Introduction • Functional (功能) (why-question) approach • Aims at an understanding of the fitness consequences of a particular mode of behaviour • Mechanistic (機轉) (how-question) approach • Tries to understand the physiological machinery mediating that behaviour. • Economic (經濟) approach • Cost-benefit analyses (本利分析) • Currency ? • Constraints (限制) approach Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  5. Constraints approach (限制的研究途徑) • By the physical environment (受到物理環境) (sect. 2.2) • By the organism itself (body size) (受到自身的限制) (sect. 2.3) • The fine tuning(細部微調) of behavioural performances (sect. 2.4) • Constraints (限制) set by the animal’s computational capabilities (計算的能力) Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  6. 2.2物理環境的限制 (constraints) • 「物理環境」限制行為的展現。 • 水域(water) vs. 空域 (air) • 體型、大小、活動力 (魚類 vs. 鳥類) • 有光 vs. 黑暗 • 海面，深海，800-1200m深海 • 愈深海的魚類，眼睛的感光能力愈是重要。 • 直到黑暗的深海，眼睛才完全退化。 Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  7. Molecular constraints (分子的限制) • The rods, dim-light receptors, are tightly clustered around 500nm. • Good adaptation to the spectral light conditions prevailing at depths of about 100m. (Fig. 2.1a) • The cones 的吸收光譜，隨著不同的生活環境，不同種的魚類各有不同。(Fig. 2.1b) • Why does the family of rod pigments exhibit such evolutionary inertia, while that of the cone pigments does not? • Molecular constraints might be as significant as ecological ones. Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  8. Fig 2.1(a) Histogram: absorption maxima of 274 photopigments (rhodopsins) of vertebrate rod photoreceptors. Curves relative sensitivity (relative quantum catch ) of rod rhodopsin as a function of λmax calculated for various depths of water (0 – 1000m). Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  9. Fig. 2.1(b) Absorption maxima (λmax) of the photopigments of rods (dark grey area) and cones (black bars) of 12 species of teleost fish belonging to the genus Lutjanus and inhaviting different marine habitats. 1. outer reef; 2. middle reef; 3. inner reef; 4. estuary. Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  10. 聲音的傳導 • The propagation of sound pressure waves is almost five times faster in water than in air. • The power of sound emission depends on the product of the velocity of propagation and the density of the medium. 水大約是空氣的3,500倍。 • 因此，水中的聲音可以傳送很遙遠。 • Fin whales might hear each other over distances of several hundred kilometers. (數百公里的距離) Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  11. Trade-off between the range and the accuracy of target detection • The higher the frequency of the emitted sound, the better the spatial resolution that can be achieved, but the stronger the attenuation of the signal as distance increases. 頻率高，較精準；但易隨距離耗弱。 • The frequency of the echolocating sound is inversely related to the height of the preferred foraging area. (覓食區愈高，頻率愈低) (Fig. 2.2) • 唯一例外，false vampire, which hunts close to the ground, detects its prey (beetles, birds, mice, etc.) not by using its sonar system but by listening to the sounds produced by the moving prey itself. Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  12. Fig. 2.2 Relationship between the best frequencies and the preferred foraging ranges of echolocating bats in southern India. 頻率 Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  13. Auditory communication in insects • Most insect songs lie in the high sonic or ultrasonic range.(高音波或超音波的範圍) • The attenuation and degradation of these high-frequency sounds by vegetation poses intricate(難理解的) questions. • 植被愈密，聲音需要愈大。 • 但不只是要聽到，且也需要辨識，這是個難題。干擾過多。特別對小型動物而言。Body size? Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  14. Fig. 2.3 (a) Frequency- dependent sound attenuation in a bushcricket habitat. The four curves refer to sounds of 5, 10, 20 and 40 kHz. 低頻 高頻 Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  15. 2.3 constraints due to one of the most fundamental biological characteristics: body size • 不同大小的動物，體型不會以等比的方式改變。 • 動物體型加大，其體型就會改變，運動方式也會改變。 • 大人國？小人國？ • 大象 vs. 小老鼠 Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  16. 2.3.1 Visual acuity (視覺敏銳度) • 單眼(single lens eyes) vs. 複眼 (compound eyes) • Compound eyes are rather large and restricted to small animals (Fig. 2.4a) • 每單位information 的cost, 複眼較高。 • 單眼有較高的information uptake (Fig. 2.4b) • Why are insects and crustaceans using such an inferior optical instrument? Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  19. Fig. 2.5 (a ) The visual field of a jumping spider. (with single-lens eyes)(b) visual field of a praying mantis. (with compound eyes) Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  20. 昆重複眼的功能 • 複眼(compound eyes)的功能，雖然解析度差，但其視野很大，可以形成global aspects of their visual world。 • 因此，昆蟲間的視覺溝通，只能限制在短距離的接觸。 • 長距離的溝通，就需要藉助於其他方式，olfactory, acoustic, vibrational 等。 Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  21. 2.3.2 sound-source detection • 身體愈小，發聲的頻率愈高，傳送的距離愈短。 • Body lengths below 1cm are restricted generally to ultrasound (超音波). • Ultrasound is a useful means of communication only in free space or at a short range. • 小型昆蟲，要傳聲音到數公尺遠，運用 • substrate-borne vibrations. • 或是 air oscillation, caused by wing vibration. Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  22. 2.4 Constraints set by the animal’s computational capabilities (計算能力) • Computational software and physiological hardware of animal behaviour • 2.4.1 coping with spherical geometry: the egg and the globe • 2.4.2 Reading skylight patterns and landmark panoramas(全景象): the insect navigator • 2.4.3 Computing interception courses: male pursuits and fly-ball catching Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  23. 2.4.1 coping with spherical geometry: the egg and the globe • Ichneumonid wasps lay their eggs into the eggs of other insect species. • Wasp 對每個被寄生蛋的下蛋數，取決於被寄生蛋的大小。 • Wasp如何計算被寄生蛋的大小？Wasp使用其停在被寄生蛋上時，頭和其觸角第一節所形成的角度，來計算被寄生蛋的大小 (Fig. 2.6) Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  24. Fig. 2.6 Parasitoid wasps, Trichogramma minutum, use the surface curvature of their host eggs to determine the number of progeny allocated to the host. 觸角的第一節 Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  25. Migrating birds: Orthodrome (正航) vs loxodrome (斜航) Fig. 2.7 Orthodrome (great circle) and loxodrome (constant angles) courses drawn on the surface of the globe. Solid line, orthodrome(正航); dotted line, loxodrome (斜航) Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  26. Migrating birds • Long distance migrants do not travel on either orthodrome or loxodrome courses, but seem to employ a number of navigational subroutines rather than an all-purpose system of navigation. • In conclusion, during evolutionary time the migration routes of birds have been shaped by a number of quite different selection pressures, e.g. by synoptic weather patterns, large-scale topography, suitability of celestial or magnetic cues, etc. Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  27. 2.4.2 Reading skylight patterns and landmark panoramas(全景象): the insect navigator • While foraging in a circuitous way over distance of more than 200m, Cataglyphis ants of the Sahara desert navigate by path integration (路徑的整合). • They continually measure all angles steered and all distances covered, and integrate these angular and linear components of movement into a continually updated vector (更新向量) always pointing home. (Fig. 2.8) Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  28. Fif. 2.8 Outward and homeward paths of an individually foraging desert ant, Cataglyphis fortis.Grid width, 5m.Time marks (small filled circles) are given every 60s. home Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  29. Reading skylight patterns • The compass used by Cataglyphis ant to monitor the angular components of its movements. • This compass is a skylight compass based primarily on a peculiar stray-light pattern in the sky, the pattern of polarized light (E-vector). Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  30. In conclusion, evolution has managed to build into the insect navigator a nervous system that includes only some general knowledge about the geometrical characteristics of the celestial world, but this partial knowledge is sufficient if the navigator restricts its field trips to short periods of time. • The insect assumes that the celestial hemisphere does not change during any of its particular foraging excursions. Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  31. The snapshot-matching mechanism • Ants seem to acquire a two-dimensional visual template – or ‘snapshot’– of the three dimensional landmark array around their nest, and later move so as to match this template as closely as possible with the current retinal image. • E-vector template 如同硬體，snapshot 必要補上的軟體機制。 Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  32. 2.4.3 Computing interception courses: male pursuits and fly-ball catching • Male hoverflies pursuing and finally catching passing females. • A male fly is able to foresee the female’s flight path (預測雌性個體的飛行途徑) and to compute the proper interception course (Fig. 2.12). Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  33. 雄性 Fig. 2.12 (a) Film recording of a hoverfly male, pursuing his quarry. Positions of male (黑點) and quarry (白點)。 The broken line indicates the line of sight between male and quarry 20ms before the fly accelerates. (b) Simulation of the male;s behaviour on the assumption that he does not adopt and interception course but tracks his quarry. 雌性 雄性 雌性 Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour

  34. 2.5 Outlook • 行為生態學者與生理學者的整合。 • Neuroethologists (神經行為學者) • Adaptations tailored to particular ecological needs rather than general-purpose processing devices. • New physiology • evolutionary physiology (演化生理學) Chap. 2 Sensory systems and behaviour
