Their ability to select the nearest object is greatest when the background has horizontal stripes and is least when it has vertical stripes. Object preference is based on a successive distance comparison, which may involve content-related memory processes. Mantid larvae can determine the absolute distance to a stationary object. Vertical contrasting borders play an important role in this process. Side-to-side head movements (peering) are directly involved in the distance measurement, as shown (i) by the peering behaviour itself and (ii) by the fact that mantids can be deceived in distance measurement by arbitrary movements of target objects during the peering movement. It is supposed that the distance measurement involves the larger and faster retinal image shifts that near, as opposed to more distant, objects evoke. Mantid larvae can distinguish a black-and-white rectangle in the foreground from a black-and-white striped background, even when both are similar with respect to luminance, contrast and texture. The ability to distinguish between figures and background could be explained by motion parallaxes, i.e. by the fact that during peering movements the nearer object moves faster and by a larger angle than the background structure. From birth onwards, even when the eyes have yet to develop foveal specialization, mantids are capable of this visually controlled behaviour.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.198.10.2127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,23]],"date-time":"2021-04-23T23:25:38Z","timestamp":1619220338000},"page":"2127-2137","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Visual Distance Discrimination Between Stationary Targets in Praying Mantis: an Index of the Use of Motion Parallax"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"198","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"Poteser","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Zoologie, Karl-Franzens-Universit\u00e4t, Universit\u00e4tsplatz 2 , A-8010 Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karl","family":"Kral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"237","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1995,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024031720554827800_JEXBIO_198_10_2127C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"474","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00302368","article-title":"Experimentelle Untersuchungen \u00fcber die Entfernungslokalisation der Libellen (Aeschna cyanea)","volume":"3","author":"Baldus","year":"1926","journal-title":"Z. vergl.
