My apologies if I am posting to the wrong group. I'm a computer scientist
and don't know any better.

I am trying to get some references on biological navigation. In particular,
I'm interested in how animals perform environment mapping and planning.
I would like to get hold any seminal book on this sibject (if one exists).
I am particularly intersted in finding out more about animals using
electric field methods for obstacle avoidance (Amazon knife-fish etc).
