With submission of this dissertation, two direct mechanisms were examined, with which harbour seals could achieve these performances. Hereby, it could be demonstrated, that seals can localise goals with the help of landmarks drawing on multiple strategies. Likewise, it could be demonstrated, that the seals can be very precise while estimating distances, even under visual masking. Thus, both mechanisms could allocate valuable information for orientation and navigation in the highly variable habitat of the harbour seals.<eng> Open Access Urheberrechtsschutz 1.0 vorgelegt von Eric Maaß Enthält Zeitschriftenartikel GutachterInnen: Frederike Hanke (Universität Rostock) ; Kristy Biolsi (St. Francis College) Dissertation Universität Rostock 2023 Kumulative Dissertation 500 590 599.7 590 https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00004512 https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00004512 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00004512-6 https://d-nb.info/1315379384/34 Spatial orientation in harbour seals--(DE-627)1877348228 urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00004512-6 doi: 10.18453/rosdok_id00004512 oclc: 1416695731 ppn: (DE-627)1877347639
