It's easy nt t think much abut the intelligence f insects. Small creatures with even smaller brains—hw smart can they be? But as researchers begin t rethink hw animals think, even insects are being seen in a new light. Nw a new study frm the University r Bristl finds that Helicnius butterflies(蝴蝶) have the ability t learn abut space.
T test the butterflies’ spatial learning abilities, the researchers set up experiments acrss three different spatial levels, each reflecting behavirs significant t their natural envirnment. First, they checked if the butterflies culd find fd amng16 flwers in a small area. Next, they enlarged the space, seeing if the butterflies culd chse the crrect side f a larger maze(迷宫) fr fd. Finally, they used a big utdr cage t see if the butterflies culd find their way thrugh a wide T-maze fr fd. The butterflies succeeded in all tests.
The study's senir authr, Dr. Stephen Mntgmery, ntes that these findings shw the difficult behavirs that even familiar animals like butterflies exhibit as part f their natural ec lgy(生态). These species are prcessing diverse infrmatin frm their envirnment and utilizing it t perfrm difficult tasks—all with brains just a few millimeters wide.
The researchers plan t further investigate Helicnius butterflies’ spatial learning abilities by cmparing them t clsely related species that d nt feed n pllen(花粉). This will help shw hw an animal's envirnment can affect the develpment f its thinking skills.
C-lead authr Dr. Priscila Mura stresses the significance f these findings, saying that they prvide actual evidence f the butterflies’ fascinating spatial learning abilities, a subject that has been discussed fr nearly a century.
