In Cataglyphis and Drosophila - in desert ants and fruit flies - research on visually guided behavior took different paths. While work in Cataglyphis started in the field and covered the animal's wide navigational repertoire, in Drosophila the initial focus was on a particular kind of visual control behavior scrutinized within the confines of the laboratory arena, before research concentrated on more advanced behaviors. In recent times, these multi-pronged approaches in flies and ants increasingly converge, both conceptually and methodologically, and thus lay the ground for combined neuroethological efforts. In spite of the obvious differences in the behavioral repertoire of these two groups of insects, likely commonalities in the navigational processes and underlying neuronal circuitries are increasingly coming to the fore.

Cataglyphis 遇到果蝇。

在 Cataglyphis 和 Drosophila 中——在沙漠蚂蚁和果蝇中——对视觉引导行为的研究采取了不同的途径。虽然 Cataglyphis 的工作开始于该领域并涵盖了动物广泛的导航功能，但在果蝇中，最初的重点是在实验室范围内仔细审查的一种特殊的视觉控制行为，然后研究集中在更高级的行为上。最近，苍蝇和蚂蚁的这些多管齐下的方法在概念和方法上越来越趋同，从而为联合神经行为学研究奠定了基础。尽管这两组昆虫的行为清单存在明显差异，但导航过程和潜在神经元电路中可能的共性越来越突出。
