In Bats and Other Animals, Evidence of Common Design in a Magnetic Compass
There has been little data previously to confirm that mammals navigate long distances using the earth’s geomagnetic field.
Can Algorithms Designed by Humans Catch Up with the Genius of Biological Systems?
While humans invented algorithms only within the last century, enabling the development of AI, animals exhibit behavioral algorithms that long predate humans.
The Role of Learning in the Honey Bee Waggle Dance
Learning is largely a programmed behavior, governed by a type of algorithm, particularly for animals with limited cognitive ability.
Intelligent Design in Animal Self-Location and Navigation
A question is whether such mechanisms exist in more ancient brain regions of other animals. A new study has identified a self-location mechanism in zebrafish.
Animal Algorithms: Ant Foraging Is a “Rational” Behavior
Of course, ants and other animals do not make decisions in a “conscious” manner as humans would. Instead they rely on algorithms.
