Above: Tracks made by a bat and a moth flying above a sun-lamp (combined filament and ultraviolet mercury lamp). Both enter from upper right. The ripple on both tracks is due to the 120ls flicker of the ultraviolet source. The small tracks were made by small insects flying over the lamp. K. D.

Kenneth David Roeder (1908-1979)
Biologist and Humanist, a Founding Father of Neuroethology, Friend of Insects and Friend of People
Preface
The investigation of the relationships between a behavior pattern and its underlying sensory and neurophysiological mechanisms in both man and animals dates back well into the last century. However, the concepts and findings of ethology and experimental psychology, together with an improved understanding of how the nervous system is organized and how neurons interact with each other, have only in the last 30 years laid the groundwork for an in-depth analysis. The many technological advances achieved in neurophysiology and neuroanatomy have also played an important role in this. The study of the neuronal bases of behavior - for which the term "neuroethology" has been coined - has thus become one of the central themes of neuroscience.
Kenneth David Roeder, who died in 1979, was one of the pioneers of this field of research. It is to him that the contributions in this book are dedicated. K.D. Roeder was among the first to attempt to define the correlation between the natural behavior of an experimental animal and the activity of single sensory and nerve cells. The questions he asked, his experimental approach, and his fundamental discoveries are presented in an introductory chapter.
The contributions in this book are based on a symposium that was held in Mainz in September 1982 and that was made pOSSible by the kind support of the Stiftung Volkswagenwerk, the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, and above all, the Mainz Academy of Science and Literature. Two of the goals of this gathering of experts were to summarize the present state of neuroethological knowledge and to point out new conceptual and methodological directions based on the example of especially well-investigated model organisms and their behavioral strategies.
This book covers almost all levels of behavior. Its topics range from motor component systems to movement sequences subserving behavior patterns such as prey capture, mate finding, and social interactions (including the orientational capabilities required by these behaviors) to the more complex levels of neural integration such as plasticity phenomena and learning.
Each chapter represents the personal bias ofits author, and the reader is challenged to follow the course of each analysiS to its conclusion. The reader is, thus, provided a picture of the new methods now being used in the field of quantitative behavioral phYSiology and neurobiology and is obliged to make a critical judgement about the direction of future experimental developments. As is readily apparent from many of the chapters, neuroethology is an interdisciplinary field. However, a gap still exists between ethology, psychology, behavioral ecology, and sociobiology on the one side and the palette of strictly neurobiological research directions on the other. This gap can be successfully bridged only if the versatile new techniques are employed on the
VIII Preface
basis of carefully designed laboratory experiments aimed at elucidating behavioral strategies used by a freely moving animal in its natural habitat.
The authors and editors hope that this book, in memory of K.D. Roeder, will point the way for further research into the many yet unanswered questions. It is addressed to undergraduate and graduate students of zoology, ethology, and psychology, as well as to students of all aspects of neurobiology and to experts in these disciplines.
We would like to express our thanks to Springer-Verlag for the excellent production of this volume.

Kenneth David Roeder (1908-1979)
K.D. Roeder was born in Richmond, Middlesex, England on March 9, 1908. He went to Bembridge School, Isle of Wight, before entering Cambridge University, Natural Science Tripos (1926-1929) and studied Zoology (1930-1931). There he received the degrees of B.A. Hons.(1929) and of M.A. (1933). In 1931 he married Sonja von Cancrin, and in the same year left England to take over a teaching assistentship at Toronto University. After a few months he went to the United States and became instructor in biology at Tufts University, where he stayed until his death in 1979. In 1950 Roeder was promoted to Professor of PhYSiology at Tufts, in 1951 he received the D.Sc. (Honorary) from Tufts University, was Chairman of the Department of Biology from 1959 to 1964, and from 1964 to 1975 Research Professor on a NIH Career Award.
K.D. Roeder was member of the National Academy of Sciences, honorary member of the Royal Entomological Society (London) and member of the Akademie der Naturforscher, Leopoldina, Halle. He was also member of A.A.A.S., the American Society of Zoologists, the Entomological Society of America, Sigma Xi, the Society for General PhYSiologists, Phi Beta Kappa, and Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 1946 he acted as member of the DDT Panel, in 1950 of the Codification Committee of the National Research Council, became member of the Study Section of ParaSitology and Tropical Medicine and that of PhYSiology of the NIH, and member of the Cotton Insect Control Panel of the Office of Science and Technology (1961-1963).
K.D. Roeder's research interests focused on the neural mechanisms of insect behavior, in which field he became a pioneer and leader. He published 88 research papers and reviews, was editor and author of Insect Physiology (Wiley 1953), and author of Nerve Cells and Insect Behavior (Harvard 1st edn 1963, 2nd edn 1967). From 1960 to 1964 he was on the Editorial Board of the Annual Review of Entomology; he also served on the Advisory Boards of the Journal of Comparative PhYSiology and the Journal of Insect Physiology. In 1953 he was a Fulbright Scholar, in 1946 Lowell lecturer (Boston), in 1960 AIBS Lecturer (San Francisco), in 1966 Founders' Memorial Lecturer, Entomological Society of America (Oregon) and in 1974 Griswold Lecturer (Cornell University, Ithaca).
