...Daniel A. Shaykevich; Andrius Pašukonis; Lauren A. O'Connell ABSTRACT Many animals exhibit complex navigation over different scales and environments. Navigation studies in amphibians have largely focused on species with life histories that require accurate spatial movements, such as territorial...
