Abstract
Diverse theories of animal navigation aim at explaining how to determine and maintain a course from one place to another in the environment, although each presents a particular perspective with its own terminologies. These vocabularies sometimes overlap, but unfortunately with different meanings. This paper attempts to precisely define the existing concepts and terminologies, so as to comprehensively describe the different theories and models within the same unifying framework. We present navigation strategies within a 4 level hierarchical framework based upon levels of complexity of required processing (Guidance, Place recognition-triggered Response, Topological navigation, Metric navigation). This classification is based upon what information is perceived, represented and processed. It contrasts with common distinctions based upon availability of certain sensors or cues and rather stresses the information structure and content of central processors. We then review computat...
