摘要
The main models for navigation in insects stress a retinotopic representation of space. We have developed a methodology to analyse finely the localisation phase of a non-perceptible point (a feeding site or a nest), so as to review the retinotopic approach, which should lead to a rigid use of space. Our results don't support a strictly retinotopic approach, but rather an alternative one (Chameron et cell., 1997) based on the representation of the topological characteristics of space.
